The surface of the Earth is divided into roughly 30 separately distinct units called plates. Each individual plate is separated by a fault, and each plate moves independently of every other plate. The movement, or float, of the lithospheric plates is caused by heat from the Earth's interior, which causes convection currents in the Earth's mantle, a layer of solid but movable plastic-like rock. The movement of Earth's lithospheric plate which 'float' on the mantle is very slow in human terms, roughly the rate of fingernail growth, but over millions of years, the change in plate locations is dramatic.
The Earth's plates float on top of the lithosphere.
The mantle, or more specifically the asthenosphere.
magma in the asthenosphere
Earth`s move around
Curst
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
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.
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
Not everyone has a answer for everything(:
Tectonic plates.

Techtonic plates
gravitiy
They are floating on the outer core

Tectonic Plates
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms

The crustal plates (made mostly of low density granitic rock) float on the mantle (made mostly of high density basaltic rock). Convection cells in the mantle move the floating crustal plates around.
there are 8 plates
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
