as it is concentrated on the crust.
and the crust is moving due to crustal activity/tectonic activity.

What are enormous moving pieces of the earth lithosphere called?
Tectonic plates
What is the name of the outer layer of our planet that is broken up into a number of moving plates?
The Lithosphere.
What is composed of oceanic or continental crust and upper mantle?
The crust and upper mantle consist of hard rocks which form the moving plates of the outer layer of Earth.
What is a Athensphere?
The Athensphere is not a layer in the Earth. The asthenosphere is the region of the mantle that is capable of moving by convection and has been linked to the movement of the tectonic plates (the lithosphere).
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath convergent lithosphere at convergent boundaries?
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
Earths lithosphere is divided up into many moving sections called what?
plate tectionics theory......................:-)
The theory that the continents and sections of the lithosphere are moving?
plate tectonics.
What is the section of the lithosphere which is always moving?
The lithosphere, which is composed of the crust and upper mantle, floats and moves on top of the ductile asthenosphere.
What happens at the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the crust of the Earth. The crust is always moving due to plate tectonics and continental drift. This can cause earthquakes.
What are enormous moving pieces of the earth lithosphere called?
Tectonic plates
What is the layer beneath the lithosphere made of slowly moving rock in the mantle?
mesosphere
What is moving in plate tectonics?
The Lithosphere, which is made up of the entire crust and the upper mantle. This Lithosphere floats on the weak/molten lowwer mantle, called the Asthenosphere.
What is the name of the outer layer of our planet that is broken up into a number of moving plates?
The Lithosphere.
The idea that Earth's lithosphere is divided into large moving sections is called the?
plate tectonics theory
What are the moving chunks of the lithosphere crust?
tectonic plate and luv u all so much
What is the idea that earths lithosphere is divided into large moving sections called?
plate tectonic theory
What do you call the moving irregularly shaped slabs that make up the earths lithosphere?
Tectonic plates.
