What else can I help you with?
Which layer of the earth is broken up in to tectonic plates?
The Earth's lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates. The lithosphere is the outermost rigid layer of the Earth, and it includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
What do you call the pieces of the Earth's crust?
The pieces of the Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle and interact with each other, causing movements such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What type of crust is the earths tectonic plates made up of?
The Earth's tectonic plates are made up of the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The crust is primarily composed of solid rock made up of elements such as oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and iron.
What layer moves at tectonic plates?
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.
What is broken into tectonic plates?
The Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface, is broken into tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below and move relative to each other, causing geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
Are the tectonic plates in the earths inner core?
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
What is plate tectonic plates?
its the earths crust
What is crust broken up into small plates?
Tectonic plates.
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.
What layer are the plates sliding on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
What do the plates that form the earths crust float on?
There called tectonic plates, and they do not float on anything.
Earthquakes happen when what section of the earths crust move?
The tectonic plates.
What is the jigsaw like parts of the earths crust called?
Tectonic Plates
What is the rising of regions of the earths crust to higher elevations?
tectonic plates
What is the rising of regions of the earths crust higher elevation?
tectonic plates
What does the earths crust consist of that moves?
Those would be tectonic plates.
What are plates within earths crust?
Tectonic plates which may be either oceanic or continental in nature.
