What else can I help you with?
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
The movement of Earth's plates can create geological features like mountains and volcanoes through processes such as subduction and continental collision. It can also lead to earthquakes when plates shift along faults in the Earth's crust.
Where is the crust the thickest on plate?
The crust is thickest on oceanic plates where the crust is typically around 5-10 km thick under the oceans. In contrast, continental crust is generally thicker, around 30-50 km thick, with some mountain ranges having crust that can be even thicker.
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
What part of earth contains plates?
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth that contains tectonic plates. These plates are divided pieces of the lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
What part of the earths structure is 100 km thick?
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth's structure that is approximately 100 km thick. It consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle and is divided into tectonic plates.
Are the plates in the Himalayas thin or thick?

What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
How many major plates compose earths surface?
there are 8 plates
How many earths plates are there?
20.
How thick is the earths oceanic crust?
one and a half miles thick
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
What are plates techonics?
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
