The lithosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Which of Earth's layers form rigid and mobile tectonic plates?
The outer layers, the continental and oceanic crust.
How the layers of the Earth are related to the movement of the earth's tectonic plates?
it is a part of the EARTH layers.
How are layers of the earth related to the movement of the earth's tectonic plates?
it is a part of the EARTH layers.
How are the layers of the earth related to the movement of the earth's tectonic plates?
it is a part of the EARTH layers.
Which of Earth's layers features tectonic plates?
The lithosphere.
What is the outer layers of the earth's pieces called?
Tectonic plates
How are the layers of the earth related to the movement of the earths tectonic plates?
The layers of the Earth, such as the lithosphere and asthenosphere, are directly related to the movement of tectonic plates. The lithosphere, which comprises the rigid outer part of the Earth, is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement and interaction of these plates is what drives processes like plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
Which layers does Earth's tectonic plates sit atop and slide along?
Asthenosphere
The tectonic plates float on what layer of earth?
The earth's tectonic plates are said to "float" on layers of magma, which is molten, or very hot liquid rock deep under the surface of theearth.
Which earth mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
The lithosphere (a combination of the crust and the uppermost brittle layer of the mantle) is divided into tectonic plates, including the seven major tectonic plates.
What are earth's rigid outer layers broken up into?
Earth's rigid outer layers are broken up into tectonic plates, which float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates move relative to each other, causing phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain-building.
What layer of the earth drives the tectonic plates into motion?
All layers of the Earth are moving, in some fashion.
