The major plate tectonics are the African, Antarctic, Eurasian, North American, South American, India-Australian, and the Pacific plate.
What else can I help you with?
What layer of the earth make up these plates?
"plates" are the term for the giant sheets of rock on the earths crust
Where do volcanoes most commonly happen?
cracks in the plates which make up the crust. the earths crust is not connected. its made up of plates that moves and they are formed by plates pushing together then collapsing. they erupt when it gets a lot of friction from the plates pushing together
What layer of earth is made up of plates that move?
The earths crust
Do tectonic plates make up the earths crust?
Yes, tectonic plates make up the Earth's crust. The Earth's lithosphere, which includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, is divided into several large and small tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and are responsible for geological activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains due to their movement and interactions.
What are the rocks that make up the earths crust?
the crust and the core
How many plates make up the earths crust?
The Earth's crust is divided into several major and minor tectonic plates. There are around seven major plates, including the African Plate, the Pacific Plate, and the Eurasian Plate, along with numerous smaller plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other along their boundaries, leading to various geological phenomena.
What type of crust is the earths tectonic plates made up of?
The Earth's tectonic plates are made up of the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The crust is primarily composed of solid rock made up of elements such as oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and iron.
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the earths mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
What is the name of the process of recycling materials that make up the earths crust and mantle?
Subduction is the process of materials moving back into the earth at the boundary of tectonic plates.
How many minerals make up the earths crust and what part of the crust do they make up?
Sounds like a homework question...
What is the name of the large pieces of rock that make up the earths crust?
The large pieces of rock that make up the Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates vary in size and shape and float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. Their movement is responsible for geological activity such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains.
What do several minerals make that make up earths outer crust?
the answer to this question is literally earth's crust.
