How is lithosphere divided and how many plates were there?
Tectonic plates, 3 plates
What are 3 continental plates?
They are tectonic plates. There are more than three plates. However, here are the names of three plates, Africa, North America, South America. The others are Europe/Asia and Australia.
When tectonic plates are pushing towards each other often forming mountains what they are called?
Search it up in google. <3
What plates was involved in the japan earthquake?
thee ceramic plate, and the metal plate :)
What is the importance of asthenosphere?
It's important because the plates move in it. It;s basically really really really hot tar that moves the continentss through 3 different forces. Since, I'm only answering this question, look up the 3 movements of tectonic plates for more info :) thnx!

What 3 forces possibly move tectonic plates?
convection currents
How many tectonic plates make up Earth's surface?

What are 2 of the 3 reasons that scientists believe the plates are moving?
by mapping where volcanoes and earthquakes occur you can see the outline of the tectonic plates.
Mexico's plateau and mountain ranges create three?

What 3 tectonic plates contain mostly SIMA?
Pacific Plate, Antarctic Plate, Nazca Plate
Why Japan is earthquake brown?

Are there any possibilities of having 3 or more tectonic plates meeting at a point to form a kind of multiple plates boundary?
The point where three different tectonic plates meet is known as a triple junction. One famous example is the Mendocino Triple Junction where the Pacific Plate, the North American Plate and the Gorda Plate meet.
What is a eartquake?
tectonic plates- move in 3 ways 1. collide w/ eachother 2.seperate from eachother 3. slide against eachother when plates are moved to the breaking point it causes an eartquake an earthquake is a seismic wave
