What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
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.
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
What are two parts in lithospheric plates?
i believe it is the crust and upper mantle...
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.
What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
What layer are the plates sliding on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
What layer in earths mantle do the plates slide over?
The asthenosphere.
What are oceans current are formed by what?
Moving plates in the earths mantle.
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 layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
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 causes earths plates to move continuously?
Convection in the earth's mantle.
Which process is currently accepted explanation of the movement of drifting continents?
the convection currents in the mantle under the earths curst is moving the broken plates in earths lithosphere causing the plates slide across the lithosphere. this process is called tectonics. (jon lay wrote this,)
How do the divided plates in the earth's upper mantle move?
Tectonic Plates are floating on the semi-molten Mantle. Currents in the molten layer, eruptions of new lava round the edges, and the forming of deep ocean volcanic ridges, help to move the plates across the Earth's surface.
The driving forces to tectonic plates are related to convection currents in earths what?
mantle.
Which part of earths is divided into plates?
Inner core
