Which plate is covering most of two continents and what continents?
The Eurasian Plate
Are all plate boundaries located along the margins of continents?
No. Many plate boundaries are on the seafloor far from continents and several are well within continents.
What is the difference between a plate and the lithosphere?
lithosphere is something that is under a plate. plate is the thing continents are on.
How do the tectonic plates moved the continents?
The continents are part of Earth's tectonic plate system, when the plates move the continents move with them. The plate movement is driven by slow mantle convection driven by the heat in Earth's core.
Was the continents divided by plate tectonics?
No, they were divided by laser farts.
Which plate is covering most of two continents and what continents?
The Eurasian Plate

No. Many plate boundaries are on the seafloor far from continents and several are well within continents.
Which two continents are on the Eurasian Plate?
Europe and Asia are the two continents which compose Eurasia and sit on the Eurasian Plate.
How have continents moved in the past?
Plate tectonics. Continents are the exposed (from the oceans) geological areas of tectonic plates. Continents can also be on top of more than one tectonic plate. When these plates move, continents move with them. Millions of years ago, continents were split apart and also created by tectonic plate movement.
What continents edges are not on plate boundaries at all?
Atlantic plate , pacific plate and north American plate
What is the difference between a plate and the lithosphere?
lithosphere is something that is under a plate. plate is the thing continents are on.
What plates carry continents?
continetal plate
Why the continents move?
Because of plate techtonics
What is the difference between a plate and a continent?
A continent is what floats on top of the plate. There are continental and oceanic plates. The continents float on the continental plate and the ocean sits on the oceanic plate. But there are also plates that carry both continents and oceans. The plates are what causes continental drift. So basically plates are what carry the continents and oceans.
Are the plate boundaries the same as the edges of continents?
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.
What is a theory on how earths continents move?
plate tectonicts moved the continents awat from each other.
How do the tectonic plates moved the continents?
The continents are part of Earth's tectonic plate system, when the plates move the continents move with them. The plate movement is driven by slow mantle convection driven by the heat in Earth's core.
