it is called the lithosphere
lithosphere
The lithosphere is the rigid outer part of a planet and comes in separate sections called tectonic plates. It includes the outer layer or the crust and the middle layer or the mantle.
From outside to inside, it goes: crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
They are broken into sections which we call Plates.
They are called plates!
If your doing your science Homework ( chapter review) then your answer is plates.The mystery phrase is Seafloor Spreading.BAY ACADEMY!!D.Y. from 712 was here :3

Lithospheric plates.
From outside to inside, it goes: crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
They are broken into sections which we call Plates.
The Lithosphere comprises both Upper Mantle and Crust.
Crust, mantle, and core
pie is awsome
They are called plates!
The crust lies on top of the mantle because it is composed of less dense materials than the mantle is. The crust is essentially floating on the mantle.
the crust floats on top of the mantle because the mantle is hot, slushy liquid and the crust is solid rock.
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and hard uppermost attached mantle.
