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.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
Tectonic plates
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
The mountain shown is composed of deformed sedimentary layers They are located near a tectonic plate boundary and are still increasing in elevation due to?
Colliding tectonic plates
What are most tectonic plates composed of?
The Lithosphere.
What is each layer of earth composed of?
Tectonic Plates
What is each layer of the Earth composed of?
Tectonic Plates
Are tectonic plates composed of continental and oceanic crust?
Yesshhh :)
What is the difference between plate tectonics and tectonic plate?
There are two types of tectonic plates:oceanic plates, thin and dense composed mostly of basalt rockcrustal plates, thick and light composed mostly of granite rock
How sea floor spreading provide evidence for tectonic plates?
by the plate tectonic and the ocean bridges

What provides the most evidence for the theory of plates tectonic?
The spreading of the sea floor.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Are plates any where else but under the sea?
Yes. All of Earth's crust, both on land and on the seafloor, is composed of tectonic plates.
What is composed of oceanic continental crust and upper mantle?
That would be the lithosphere which is split into tectonic plates.
Where on earth do you see evidence that tectonic plates have collided in the past?
south america and africa .
