One of about 30 giant sections of the Earth's lithosphere?

A tectonic plate is one of about 30 giant sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other. Tectonic plates are responsible for the movements of continents, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. The boundaries where plates interact can be places of intense geological activity.


What are the sections the lithosphere?

tectonic plates

What are the large sections of lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere?

The large sections of lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates are rigid sections of Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.


What are sections of the lithosphere called?

These are known as tectonic plates.


What is the name of the sections the lithosphere is broken into?

plate tectonics


What is the sections that the lithosphere is broken into called?

Tectonic platea.


What sections of Earth's crust ad upper mantle?

That would be the lithosphere. This is broken into sections known as lithospheric (or tectonic) plates.


Earths lithosphere is divided up into many moving sections called what?

What are sections of the upper mantle called?

The upper mantle is divided into two main sections: the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is rigid and includes the crust, while the asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere where convection currents occur.


The lithosphere is broken into separate sections called what?

The lithosphere is broken into about 100 separate sections called tectonic or crustal plates. They are divided by faults which are very much like cracks between plates. These plates float on top of the asthenosphere. A rift valley is a deep valley that forms where two plates move apart.


The lithosphere is broken into separate sections called?

It is called plates.
