What else can I help you with?
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
What are tectonic plantes?
There is no specific term "tectonic plantes". It seems like a misunderstanding. Tectonic plates are large sections of the Earth's outer shell that move around on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them, resulting in phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The earths surface is broken into large pieces what are they called?
The Earth's surface is broken into large pieces called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath them and interact at plate boundaries, where geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from within the Earth creates these currents, leading to the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
What happens as earths mantle drags on the bottom of techtonic plates?
As Earth's mantle drags on the bottom of tectonic plates, it creates stress and friction that can cause the plates to move. This movement can result in various tectonic activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges as the plates interact with each other.
Are the tectonic plates in the earths inner core?
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
What is plate tectonic plates?
its the earths crust
What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
What is the earths lithosphere broken up into?
Tectonic Plates
What is earths lithosphere broken up into?
Tectonic Plates
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
What causes earths changes to earths landforms?
the tectonic platesthe tectonic plates can be move to be far and near to each other
What layer are the plates sliding on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
How do covergent boundary plates affect earths surface?
The tectonic plates combined together
What do the plates that form the earths crust float on?
There called tectonic plates, and they do not float on anything.
