What plates does Haiti sit on?
north American and Caribbean plates.
What country straddles two plates?
Iceland sit on top of a divergent plate boundary.-Dayshia L.
Which layers does Earth's tectonic plates sit atop and slide along?
Asthenosphere
Is it true earth's plates move quickly on top of the crust?
no
What is the result when plates Collide?
The movement of crustal plates is driven by heating from within the mantle, as the separate plates sit atop the fluid asthenosphere. The difference in rock motion means that plates can be pushed into, over, and under each other.
What layer do tectonic plates sit on?
The Crust of the Earth. (the top layer)
What plates does Haiti sit on?
north American and Caribbean plates.
how much are top plates?
how much are top plates
What structure do the continental plates sit on?
The asthenosphere.
What plate or plates does Africa sit on?
cocos plate
What is broken into sections called plates which float on top of the crust?
tectonic plates
How does the earth's plates move on top of the crust?
The Earth's tectonic plates do not move on top of the crust, they are the crust. The crust is made out of plates. The plates float on top of the mantle, which is made of molten rock, called magma. The plates move because of currents in the magma.
What country straddles two plates?
Iceland sit on top of a divergent plate boundary.-Dayshia L.
I am part of lithosphere but you move around on top of the asthenosphere?
The answer is Tectonic Plates
Where does crustal plates float?
the plates float on top of the upper mantle
Do tectonic plates 'float' on the surface of the mantle?
The tectonic plates (the lithosphere) are made of the crust and upper brittle part of the mantle. They 'float' on the hotter and softer mantle below, which is still a solid, but can flow like plasticine (the asthenosphere)
Are the tectonic plates in the earths inner core?
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
