What is the upper section of the lithosphere?
CRUST
What is the layer beneath the lithosphere made of slowly moving rock in the mantle?
mesosphere
What is moving in plate tectonics?
The Lithosphere, which is made up of the entire crust and the upper mantle. This Lithosphere floats on the weak/molten lowwer mantle, called the Asthenosphere.
The idea that Earth's lithosphere is divided into large moving sections is called the?
plate tectonics theory
What are the moving chunks of the lithosphere crust?
tectonic plate and luv u all so much
What happens at the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the crust of the Earth. The crust is always moving due to plate tectonics and continental drift. This can cause earthquakes.
What is the upper section of the lithosphere?
CRUST
Earths lithosphere is divided up into many moving sections called what?
plate tectionics theory......................:-)
What is a section of lithosphere that carries crust?
the outer mantle
What type of lithosphere are volcanoes that always have nonexplosive eruptions located?
they are on oceanic lithosphere.
What is a section of the lithosphere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere?
Plate
Why is the lithosphere moving?
as it is concentrated on the crust. and the crust is moving due to crustal activity/tectonic activity.
What section of the lithosphere carries the crust?
The crust is actually part of the lithosphere, though it is 'carried' by the magma of the outer mantle.
The theory that the continents and sections of the lithosphere are moving?
plate tectonics.
Section of the lithosphere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere?
A lithospheric plate.
What section of the earth is composed of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
The Lithosphere
What are enormous moving pieces of the earth lithosphere called?
Tectonic plates
