rocky almost cement crust like granite found in continental crust and basalt found in oceanic crust
What else can I help you with?
Is the Earth's crust made of plates?
Yes, it is.
What type of crust is the earths tectonic plates made up of?
The Earth's tectonic plates are made up of the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The crust is primarily composed of solid rock made up of elements such as oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and iron.
What is a part of the earth's crust?
The earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates.
What is the Earth's crust a part of?
The earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates.
Are plates made of Earth's crust and asthenosphere?
Tectonic plates are formed from the lithosphere which is the solid brittle portion of the upper mantle and the crust so tectonic plates are part of both the crust and the upper brittle mantle.
What are large blocks of crust called?
plates There are continental plates (thick and made of granite) and oceanic plates (thin and made of basalt).
What kind of landforms are made by volcanoes?
It when plates colliding and making the volcanos also when the earths crust is open and the mantle or lava comes out,
Can plates be made of oceanic and continental crust?
yes
Is the crust made of tectonic plates?
Yes, it is made of tectonic plates and those plates have names e.g. Indo Australian plate, Eurasion plate
How many plates is earth's crust made of?
Earth's crust is divided into a series of large and small plates, known as tectonic plates. There are about 7 major plates (e.g., the Pacific Plate, North American Plate) and several minor plates that make up the Earth's crust.
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 are the 2 parts of the lithospheric plates?
The lithospheric plates are made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
