What else can I help you with?
What happens when tectonic plates collide and friction melts part of both plates and the melted rock rises?
LOLOLOLOLOLOL hehehe and lol
What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
What part of the earth are the tectonic plates moving above?
north and west
What layer of the Earth makes up the tectonic plates and what layer are the continents sliding on?
The continents of the Earth are sliding through the asthenosphere. This is the viscous part of the mantle on which the plates of the lithosphere sit.
How can an earthquake move?
The land part of the earth is on tectonic plates. Due to pressure, the plates collide or brush with each other causing vibrations which are called earthquakes.
What do the tectonic plates float on?
The tectonic plates, part of the lithosphere, move around and float on the top of the asthenosphere.
What part of the mantle allows tectonic plates to move?
The lithosphere.
What layer moves at tectonic plates?
The lithosphere is the layer that moves with the tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
What are the plates that move and the lithosphere is made of them?
The plates that move are called tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of these plates, which consist of both the crust and the upper part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with each other at plate boundaries.
What part of earths interior is inferred to have convection that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
Which part of earth's interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from the Earth's core causes these currents, which transfer heat to the surface and drive the movement of the tectonic plates.
How do the tectonic plates moved the continents?
The continents are part of Earth's tectonic plate system, when the plates move the continents move with them. The plate movement is driven by slow mantle convection driven by the heat in Earth's core.

What layer of the earth makes up theses plates?
The Earth's lithosphere is comprised of the tectonic plates that float and move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates are made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle.
The part of earths outer layer that move are called?
The part of Earth's outer layer that moves are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Do tectonic plates play a part in continent?
continents are tectonic plates! so.... yes!
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from within the Earth creates these currents, leading to the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
