parts of the crust and upper mantle
What else can I help you with?
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
What best describes what earths plates are made up of?
Earth's plates are made up of the rigid outer layer of the Earth's surface, known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath them, which allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
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 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.
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 are earths techtonic plates made of?
massive rocks
How many plates is the earths surface made up of?
30layers
Is the earths lithosphere made up of separate plates?
yes, it is
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
What layer of earth is made up of plates that move?
The earths crust
The earths crust is made of rock sections called?
Continental plates.
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
How does plate tectonics affect the mantle?
Tectonic Plates float on top of the earths mantle, the earths mantle is made up liquid which is always circulating.
What is the force that probably propels the movement of the earths rock plates?
The earth is made up of multiple tectonic plates. These plates are propelled by convection in the mantle layer below the crust (lithosphere)
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the earths mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
Earths Litosphere Is Broken Into Separate Sections Called?
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
