The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
This layer is the crust, which is the outermost layer of the earth's surface.
The Crust of the Earth. (the top layer)
The layer of the mantle that supports the plates is the aestenosphere. The plates and fluid upper mantle are referred to collectively as the lithosphere.
On the first layer, which would be the Tectonic plates
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains 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.
the crust
Lithosphere (apex)
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 upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
the plates are apart of the crust,the upper layer of the earth
The lithosphere has plates.
