What are these parts primarily made up of in the earths interior?
they are crust and the mantle and also the core
Which layers of the earth compose the earth's plates?
The lithosphere (which is composed of the crust and solid brittle upper mantle) makes up the Earth's tectonic plates.
How have tectonic plates affected latin Americas physical geography?
Many parts of Latin America experience volcanic activity and earthquakes. This is due to the movement of five tectonic plates. The two highest mountain peaks in Mexico are volcanoes.
What is the 'why' and not the 'how' for earthquakes happening?
Because heat rises from the earth's mantle and creates such pressure that the parts of the crust called tectonic or lithospheric plates move is the reason why earthquakeshappen.
What is the jigsaw like parts of the earths crust called?
Tectonic Plates
What cause faults and earthquakes?
Movement of tectonic plates which are parts of the Earth's crust.
Why Are Volcannoes Found Where They Are?
majority of valcanoes follow the edges of the tectonic plates, which are the weaker parts of earths crust, therefore volcanoes form durin the crust giving away to the pressure built up. other volcaoes form other places due to weak parts of earths crust
What are the moving parts of the earth's crust?
Tectonic Plates
How abundant is platinum in the earths crust?

What name is given to slipping or sliding surface of parts of the earths surface?
plate tectonic
What kind of forces can make a new mountain?
usually mountains are created by the earths tectonic plates pushing two parts of the crust together and upwards forming a mountain, this takes 1000s of years. Mountains are also created by magma coming through the crust (which turns into a volcano)
What are three parts that make up earths mantle?
The three parts that make up the Earths mantle are the crust, core, and mantle.
What are the parts that make up the mantle?
