What else can I help you with?
What plastic like layer has tectonic plates ride on it?
The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
Tectonic plates float on a layer of the earth called the?
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
Are tectonic plates located in the mantle of the Earth?
Yes, tectonic plates are located in the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface, not in the mantle.
What earth layer contains the tectonic plates?
the crust
The tectonic plates are located in a layer that is?
The tectonic plates are located in Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. Movements of these plates are responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shaping of Earth's surface features.
What is the layer of the earth that makes up the tectonic plates?
The lithosphere.
Tectonic plates float on a layer of earth called the what?
Lithosphere
Which layer of the earth is broken up in to tectonic plates?
The Earth's lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates. The lithosphere is the outermost rigid layer of the Earth, and it includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
What is the tectonic plates in earth's crust?
plates of the earth's crust that float on top of the molted mantle layer.
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.
What is the solid plastic layer of earth on which tectonic plates move?
The asthenosphere.
The part of earths outer layer that move are called?
The part of Earth's outer layer that moves are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
