asthenosphere
Im pretty sure its ridge push, slab pull, and mantle convection
Tectonic plates move from east to west as a whole due to the coreolis (not sure of spelling) effect.
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
That heat from the earth's mantle causes the tectonic or lithospheric plates of the earth's crust to move away or toward each other is the reason why earthquakes start.
the hot magma moves around and they move.
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
The soft layer of the mantle on which the tectonic plates move is called the asthenosphere. It is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere that allows for the movement of the tectonic plates due to convection currents in the mantle.
The tectonic plates which form Earth's crust move on top of the outer layer of the mantle. This layer of the mantle is known as the asthenosphere.
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.
The upper layer. It is filled with melted liquid.
The layer of tar-like mantle under the tectonic plates is called the asthenosphere. It is a partially molten and ductile region of the Earth's mantle that allows the lithospheric plates to move on top of it.
The tectonic plates ride on the uppermost layer of the Earth's mantle, known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere includes the rigid upper part of the mantle as well as the crust, and it is broken into several large and small tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
It is called the asthenosphere, the layer of hot, ductile rock directly below the lithosphere.
Those are called TECTONIC PLATES.
Tectonic plates sit on the lithosphere, which is the rigid outer layer of the Earth composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. This layer is divided into several large and small plates that move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
The lithosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth that contains the tectonic plates. These plates are composed of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and they float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
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.
