Tectonic platea.


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.

Earths Litosphere Is Broken Into Separate Sections Called?

Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.


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.


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.


What are the sections called that are composed of the crust and part of the upper mantle?

Those sections are called tectonic plates. They are large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, and their movement and interactions are responsible for many geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.


The theory that earths lithosphere is broken into large sections that move is called?

What is it called when lithosphere is broken into separate sections?

tectonic plates or you could say plate tectonics
