The tectonic plates are located in a layer that is?
The layer that the tectonic plates are located is the Upper Mantle and it is liquid.
Where are tectonic plates located?
The entire crust (or outer layer) of the planet Earth is composed of plates, and the movements of those plates are described by the science of plate tectonics.
What part of the earth is broken into large plates?
The litoshphere is the part of the earth broken into large plates also known as the crust the lithoshpere is the thinnest layer of all earths layers it
What layer of the earth makes up theses plates?
tectonic plates
What layer do tectonic plates make up?
The lithosphere.
What is broken into tectonic plates?
The Earths upper layer which consists of the Crust and Upper Mantle makes up the Tectonic Plates. This layer is called the Lithosphere.
What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
The part of earths outer layer that move are called?

Which layer of the earth is broken up in to tectonic plates?
the crust
What is the layer that the earths plates are sliding on?
Tectonic Plates are part of the crust, and floats on the semi-molten rock magma layer.
What is earths outer most physical layer divided into tectonic plates?
lithosphere
Which layer of the earth is broken up into tectonic plates?
The crust
Which of the earth's layer is broken into several large tectonic plates?

What can be found directly under the plates of the earths crust?
The Earth's tectonic plates lay on top of the outer layer of the mantle. This layer is known as the asthenosphere.
What do earths tectonic plates do?
The plates (continental and ocean plates) ride atop the asthenosphere, a layer of viscous rock in the upper mantle beneath the crust.
