What layer of the earth makes up these plates and what layer are the continents are sliding on?

The plates on the top of the upper mantle are referred to as the lithosphere, which slides on the asthenosphere.well the mantle causes the continents to move on the ocean floor and sand it makes it slideyea know the crustti is i dont ge ehttt


What layer of the Earth makes up the tectonic plates and what layer are the continents sliding on?

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.
