The study of lithospheric plates is called plate tectonics. It focuses on the movement and interactions of the Earth's lithospheric plates, which form the outer shell of the Earth. Plate tectonics help explain processes like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
i believe it is the crust and upper mantle...
Lithospheric plates.
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
The movement of lithospheric plates is primarily driven by the process of plate tectonics. This movement is caused by the heat-driven convection currents in the Earth's mantle. As these currents circulate, they drag the overlying lithospheric plates along with them, causing the plates to move over time.
Of the seven major lithospheric plates, the Pacific is the largest.
lithospheric plates
The last person to answer was a complete and total idiot. The correct answer is the Pacific Plate.
They are divided by divergent, convergent AND transform boundaries.
Aesthenosphere
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
Continental Plates
Yes.
plate tectonics
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
No, the wording of you question is not true. However the movement of the lithospheric plates is related to the formation of volcanoes.
The lithospheric plates are made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
