What else can I help you with?
What layer moves at tectonic plates?
The lithosphere is the layer that moves with the tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
What allows the tectonic plates in the lithosphere to move?
the hot magma moves around and they move.
What are lithosphere plates and how are lithosphere plates related to earthquakes?
they are related by,they are plates
I am part of lithosphere but you move around on top of the asthenosphere?
You are part of the rigid outer shell of the Earth known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere floats and moves on the semi-fluid layer beneath it called the asthenosphere due to plate tectonics. This movement of the lithospheric plates atop the asthenosphere is responsible for phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Why are the plates of the lithosphere in constant slow motion?
The plates of the lithosphere are in constant slow motion due to convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Heat from the Earth's core causes magma to rise, cool, and sink, creating a circular motion that moves the plates. This process is known as plate tectonics.
What layer of the earth has plates?
The lithosphere has plates.
Is the lithosphere located in the plates why not?
Yes, the tectonic plates-both continental and oceanic- are part of the lithosphere.
Which of earthes mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
Are tectonic plates part of the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
Why do earthquake occur in the lithosphere?
Because there are tectonic plates there in the lithosphere.
How is lithosphere divided and how many plates were there?
Tectonic plates, 3 plates
What is the mechanics layer of earth that contains tectonic plates?
Lithosphere (apex)
