Which rigid zone on the Earth's surface forms the earth's drifting tectonic plates?
The lithosphere.
The portion of the Earth that is broken into tectonic plates is the?
The portion of the Earth that is broken into tectonic plates is the Lithosphere. It's not one solid sheet but broken into slabs called plates. They are in motion and drift over the asthenosphere. It's a lot like a slab of ice drifting over the surface of a lake.
How may tectonic plates make up the Earth's surface?
Earth's lithosphere is broken up into 15 tectonic plates.
The Earth's plates are presently drifting on?
The Earth's tectonic plates drift above a thick layer called the mantle. It makes up about 84 of the Earth's volume.
Large crustal plates moving on the earth's surface are?
Tectonic plates.

What is the Earth's plates are presently drifting on?
Tectonic Plates float on the semi-molten surface of the mantle.

Tectonic plates.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What are the countries in the tectonic plate?
all countries are on tectonic plates because everything on the surface of the earth is on tectonic plates. be more specific with your questions.
What do the tectonic plates float on?
The tectonic plates, part of the lithosphere, move around and float on the top of the asthenosphere.
How many primary tectonic plates make up the surface of Earth?
seven plates
Explain how volcanoes change the earth's surface?
by the moment of the tectonic plates
