What else can I help you with?
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
What process causes earths plates to move?
The process of 'earth plates moving' is Alfred Wageners theory of continental drift. This theory proposes that convenction currents in the earths mantle provides a 'cushion' on which the plates can move.
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.
How is plate tectonic theory different from continental drift theory?
They are actually part of the "same" theory. Seafloor spreading and subduction are the driving forces of continental drift. Pangaea was the Earth's only continent 4 billion years ago. Tectonic plates are small plates, while continent drift is several tectonic plates moving as a mass (continent). There are 21 large plates and dozens of smaller ones.
What theory explains the movement of the pieces of earths surface?
theory of plate tectonics
Are the tectonic plates in the earths inner core?
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
