The Crust of the Earth. (the top layer)
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
Tectonic Platesplates
The Earths upper layer which consists of the Crust and Upper Mantle makes up the Tectonic Plates. This layer is called the Lithosphere.
Tectonic Plates
Tectonic Plates
The continents of the Earth are sliding through the asthenosphere. This is the viscous part of the mantle on which the plates of the lithosphere sit.
The layer that the tectonic plates are located is the Upper Mantle and it is liquid.
The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
Tectonic Platesplates
The plates are part of the crust, the upper layer of the Earth. The plates are moved by currents in the upper mantle. The plates and flexible upper mantle are referred to collectively as the lithosphere and sit atop the mantle layer called the aesthenosphere.
the crust
Tectonic plates float on an underlying molten layer.
The Earths upper layer which consists of the Crust and Upper Mantle makes up the Tectonic Plates. This layer is called the Lithosphere.
