That would be the theory of plate tectonics.
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
the hot magma moves around and they move.
global tectonics in which the lithosphere divided into a number of crustal plates
The crust or lithosphere.
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.
The lithosphere is divided into what we call tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates, 3 plates
tectonic plates
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
tectonic plate
Earth's outermost physical layer is divided into tectonic plates known as the lithosphere. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and are responsible for the movement of continents due to the process of plate tectonics.
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
The tectonic plates, part of the lithosphere, move around and float on the top of the asthenosphere.
The tectonic plates are located in Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. Movements of these plates are responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shaping of Earth's surface features.
The tectonic plates float on the lithosphere. This overlies the asthenosphere.
The lithosphere is divided into several large tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates move around due to the movement of the molten rock underneath, causing geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The lithosphere (a combination of the crust and the uppermost brittle layer of the mantle) is divided into tectonic plates, including the seven major tectonic plates.
