What do you call pieces of earth's crust that are floating on the mantle?
Tectonic plates.
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
What caused pangaea's plates to move?
The movement of tectonic plates caused by convection currents in the mantle.
Where are tectonic plates located?
The entire crust (or outer layer) of the planet Earth is composed of plates, and the movements of those plates are described by the science of plate tectonics.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What do tectonic plates float on?
They are floating on the outer core
What do you call pieces of earth's crust that are floating on the mantle?
Tectonic plates.
What plastic like layer has tectonic plates ride on it?
The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
What is under the tectonic plates under ground?
Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle.
What are the tectonic plates floating?
The continental plates float on asthenosphere, molten rock (lava).
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
What are tectonic movements?
Tectonic Plates are sections of the Earth's crust that are actually floating on the surface of the semi-molten Magma.
The sections of solid ground floating' are called what?
Tectonic plates.
What causes am earthquake to occur?
two tectonic plates floating into each other.
What are the slabs of the lithosphere floating on the molten mantle called?
They are called tectonic plates.
What causes earthquakes to occur?
two tectonic plates floating into each other.
What is the surface of the earth floating on?
The crust, on which we live on, is like islands of tectonic plates that are floating on the semi-molten magma.
