In what ways do plates in the earths crust move?
they move in all sorts of ways like the bottom and the top lol :}
Are the tectonic plates in the earths inner core?
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
How do the plates in earths crust move?
The plates float on top of a liquid rock just below the earth's crust. :) $m!/ey G!r/
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 can be found directly under the plates of the earths crust?
The Earth's tectonic plates lay on top of the outer layer of the mantle. This layer is known as the asthenosphere.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
Is the crust the top layer of the earths crust?
Yes, the crust is the top layer. It continually changes.
What is earths top surface?
It is called the crust.
What is the tectonic plates in earth's crust?
plates of the earth's crust that float on top of the molted mantle layer.
Is magma the idea that the earth's crust is broken into plates that move on top of the mantle?
The idea that the earth's crust is broken into plates that move on top of the mantle is known as the theory of plate tectonics.Magma is the name given to molten rock below the Earth's surface.
What do the 7 plates in the lithosphere float on?
The tectonic plates which form Earth's crust move on top of the outer layer of the mantle. This layer of the mantle is known as the asthenosphere.
Why does the Earth's crust move on top of the magma when getting heated by the earth's core?
Convection currents move the magma around in circles up and down as it gets cooled and heated. And the plates move on top of them.
