plate tectonics
What else can I help you with?
The lithosphere is broken into separate sections called?
It is called plates.
What are the two lithosphere plates called?
Continental and oceanic
What are sections of the lithosphere called?
These are known as tectonic plates.
What lithosphere is divided into pieces called?
tectonic plates
What are lithosphere plates and how are lithosphere plates related to earthquakes?
they are related by,they are plates
What are the large pieces of the lithosphere called?
The large pieces of the lithosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
The lithosphere is broken into large sections called .?
tectonic plates
Tectonic plates float on a layer of earth called the what?
Lithosphere
Which layer is broken into pieces called tectonics plates?
The lithosphere
What are the slabs of the lithosphere floating on the molten mantle called?
They are called tectonic plates.
The crust and upper mantle are called the?
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
How is Earth's crust related to its lithosphere?
The crust, along with the attached uppermost brittle mantle, is called the lithosphere. Tectonic plates are also known as lithospheric plates.
