What is the mechanics layer of earth that contains tectonic plates?
Lithosphere (apex)
Crust contains what?
Lithosphere
Which of earthes mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
Which layer of earth contains both the crust and upper mantle?
The layer of the Earth that contains both the crust and the upper mantle is called the lithosphere. The lithosphere is a rigid outer shell that is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
Contains the tectonic plates?

Which of the earth's spheres contains its landforms?
lithosphere
Does continental lithosphere contain more mafic rocks than oceanic lithosphere?
No, oceanic lithosphere contains more mafic rocks compared to continental lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is mainly composed of basalt, which is a mafic rock, whereas continental lithosphere is composed of a variety of rock types, including granitic rocks which are more felsic in composition.
Give the name of one plate that contains mostly oceanic lithosphere and of one plate that continenmental litosphere?
One plate that contains mostly oceanic lithosphere is the Pacific Plate, which is predominantly made up of oceanic crust. One plate that contains mostly continental lithosphere is the North American Plate, which consists mainly of continental crust. These distinctions are based on the composition and thickness of the lithosphere in each plate.

Solid layer just below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of the Earth that contains the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
