Where are tectonic plates located?
The entire crust (or outer layer) of the planet Earth is composed of plates, and the movements of those plates are described by the science of plate tectonics.
Is there any life under tectonic plates?
Well There Is NOT Any Life Under Tectonic Plates Because Under The Tectonic Plates Is The Mantle And Its So Hot That A Human Body Or Any Type Of Living Thing Would Live Under there would Burn To Pieces
How does the movement of tectonic plates?
The layer of the Earth called the mantle is continuously circulating like rice would in boiling water. This movement under the crust cause the plates to shift moving the plates to create mountains, valleys, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
How does the movement of tectonic plated occur?
The layer of the Earth called the mantle is continuously circulating like rice would in boiling water. This movement under the crust cause the plates to shift moving the plates to create mountains, valleys, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
The Earth's tectonic plates are in constant motion due to several factors Temperature and density differences in the plates cause push and pull forces that move the plates?
The volcanic activey under the crust causes the tectonic plates to move
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 under the tectonic plates under ground?
Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle.

Well There Is NOT Any Life Under Tectonic Plates Because Under The Tectonic Plates Is The Mantle And Its So Hot That A Human Body Or Any Type Of Living Thing Would Live Under there would Burn To Pieces
What is the earth's layer of solid rock that flows under pressure?
The solid layer of the earth that can still flow is called the asthenosphere. This layer is located in the mantle of the earth the layer below the upper crust and lithosphere, home of the tectonic plates.
How does the movement of tectonic plates?
The layer of the Earth called the mantle is continuously circulating like rice would in boiling water. This movement under the crust cause the plates to shift moving the plates to create mountains, valleys, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

lithosphere?
a rigid layer that can break under stress
Is the earths center called the mantle?
No, the mantle is what is under the tectonic plates. Its Mg, Fe, Al, and Oxygen. The next layer is the core, which is molten Iron (Fe) with Sulfer (S). The inner core is solid because of the immense pressure, and is made up of Fe.
The tectonic plates float on what layer of earth?
The earth's tectonic plates are said to "float" on layers of magma, which is molten, or very hot liquid rock deep under the surface of theearth.
What are movements of the earth crust and mantle called?
this is called tectonic plates moving, this causes earthquakes and if under water it's called a psunami
