Pieces of the lithosphere are known as plates.
Large pieces of the lithosphere are called tectonic plates.
large pieces of the lithosphere that move around on the asthenosphere are called Tectonic Plates.
Pieces of the lithosphere are known as tectonic plates. These plates slide slowly over the upper layer of the mantle known as the asthenosphere.
The density of the continental (granitic) lithosphere is lower than oceanic (basaltic) lithosphere. Consequently, due to buoyancy, the continental crust rides above the oceanic lithosphere and thus is not subducted. However, it is thought that pieces of the continental lithosphere break off and are subducted along with the oceanic lithosphere.
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
Large pieces of the lithosphere are called tectonic plates.
