50 to 250 miles thick
Lithospheric plates.
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.
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.
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
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.
Techtonic plates
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.
thick
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
Tectonic Plates.
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
there are 8 plates
20.
one and a half miles thick
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
