It is the movement of ductile rock in the asthenosphere caused by convection currents that creates movement of the lithospheric plates. It is the conveyor belt on which the plates move.
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
It is plate tectonics.
The theory that states that plates move around on the asthenosphere is called plate tectonics. This theory explains the movement of the Earth's lithosphere into different plates and their interactions at plate boundaries due to the convective currents in the asthenosphere beneath them.
plate tectonics
It is plate tectonics.
It is plate tectonics.
plate tectonics
they sit on the asthenosphere
The theory is called Plate Tectonics.
the branch of geology for plate tectonics is asthenosphere.
The asthenosphere is a section of the upper mantle that enables plate tectonics.
Mars does not have an asthenosphere like Earth. The asthenosphere is a layer in Earth's upper mantle that is semi-fluid and allows for plate tectonics to occur. Mars does not have active plate tectonics, so it does not have a comparable asthenosphere.
