How do the tectonic plates moved the continents?
The continents are part of Earth's tectonic plate system, when the plates move the continents move with them. The plate movement is driven by slow mantle convection driven by the heat in Earth's core.
What tectonic plate is a slab of the earth's?
All tectonic plates are part of the Earth crust.
How are the layers of the earth related to the movement of the earths tectonic plates?
it is a part of the EARTH layers.
Are all tectonic plates located at earth's core?
No tectonic plates are in or even near the earth's core! The tectonic plates are fragments of the earth's crust. At subduction zones the edge of the subducting tectonic plate descends as much as a few hundred miles down into the earth's mantle before melting and becoming part of the mantle.
What is the layer of the earth that is composed of large plates that interlock and move over time?
The earth has tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. The crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere.
What do the tectonic plates float on?
The tectonic plates, part of the lithosphere, move around and float on the top of the asthenosphere.
The part of earths outer layer that move are called?
Tectonic Platesplates
I am part of lithosphere but you move around on top of the asthenosphere?
The answer is Tectonic Plates
How do the tectonic plates moved the continents?
The continents are part of Earth's tectonic plate system, when the plates move the continents move with them. The plate movement is driven by slow mantle convection driven by the heat in Earth's core.
Which part of earth's interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
h
What is the part of the earth which the tectonic plates are able to move?
The mantle moves the continents, which is called continental drift.
What tectonic plate is a slab of the earth's?
All tectonic plates are part of the Earth crust.
Tectonic plates are made from what part of the earth?
The lithosphere.
What part of the mantle allows tectonic plates to move?
The lithosphere.
What is a part of the earth's crust?
The earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates.
What is the Earth's crust a part of?
The earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates.
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.
