What else can I help you with?
The layer on which the tectonic plates move is called the what?
It is called the asthenosphere, the layer of hot, ductile rock directly below the lithosphere.
How fast does the outer layer typically move?
The outer layer typically moves at a speed of about 1 to 10 centimeters per year.
Is the outer layer of the earth the coolest layer?
the outer layer of the Earth is the coolest layer and the core is the hottest at 5500 degrees Celsius.
How is Earths outer layer different from a cracked hard-boiled egg?
Earth's outer layer, known as the lithosphere, is a series of tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid layer beneath, whereas a hard-boiled egg shell is a single solid piece. The lithosphere is broken into plates that move and interact with each other, causing earthquakes and forming geologic features, while the egg shell remains stationary and doesn't undergo tectonic activity.
What are the three layers of the mantle?
Lithosphere is the layer clostest to the earths crust. It is the layer that contains the sial and sima. Asthenosphere is the next layer clostest to the earths crust. Mesosphere is the inner most layer of the mantle than it goes to the core... Outer core, and inner core

What layer of earth is made up of plates that move?
The earths crust
Is the outer layer of the earth the coolest layer?
the outer layer of the Earth is the coolest layer and the core is the hottest at 5500 degrees Celsius.
What is euglenas outer covering?
The outer covering of euglenas is called a pellicle. It is a flexible layer made up of protein strips called pelliculin. The pellicle helps euglenas maintain their shape and structure while allowing them to move and change shape.
How does water move through and on top of earths rock and soil layer?
Through condensation and evaporation.
What is the theory the explains how large pieces of earths outermost layer. Move and change shape?
Pcvrvsgsvd
What is the theory that explains how large pieces of earths outermost layer move and change shape?
Pcvrvsgsvd
Why don't secondary waves move through the outer core?
Because it has been proven that the outer layer is made of liquid and secondary waves do not move through liquid ^~^
Tectonic plates make up Earths inner core Outer core Lithosphere or a asthenoshpere?
Tectonic plates make up the lithosphere, which is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, encompassing the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. Below the lithosphere lies the asthenosphere, a semi-fluid layer of the mantle that allows the tectonic plates to move. The inner and outer cores are composed of iron and nickel and are not involved in the tectonic plate dynamics.
This solid layer is found between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?
The solid layer found between the lithosphere and the outer core is called the asthenosphere. It is a semi-plastic layer that allows the lithospheric plates to move over it.
What changes occur in the composition of the earths interior layer as you move towards the core?
the material is hotter & denser
