What else can I help you with?
Which of earthes mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
What allows the tectonic plates in the lithosphere to move?
the hot magma moves around and they move.
How does plate tectonics happen?
global tectonics in which the lithosphere divided into a number of crustal plates
Which layer do you find the tectonic plates?
The crust or lithosphere.
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.
What are the segments into which the lithosphere is divided?
The lithosphere is divided into what we call tectonic plates.
How is lithosphere divided and how many plates were there?
Tectonic plates, 3 plates
What lithosphere is divided into pieces called?
tectonic plates
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
What are Large pieces of lithosphere that move around on the asthenosphere?
tectonic plate
What is earths outer most physical layer divided into tectonic plates?
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.
Are tectonic plates part of the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
What do the tectonic plates float on?
The tectonic plates, part of the lithosphere, move around and float on the top of the asthenosphere.
The tectonic plates are located in a layer that is?
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.
Tectonic plates float on what?
The tectonic plates float on the lithosphere. This overlies the asthenosphere.
What is the division of lithosphere?
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.
Which earth mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
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.
