What layer moves underneath the techtonic plates?
The aesthenosphere, which is located in the top part of the Earth's mantle is the layer lying underneath the tectonic plates. Collective movement in these plates cause a gradual rise in the aesthenosphere, thereby resulting to land elevation.
The part of earths outer layer that move are called?
The part of Earth's outer layer that moves are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Tectonic plates float on a layer of the earth called the?
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
What is a large crust layer that moves as one unit?
A tectonic plate is a large crust layer that moves as one unit across the Earth's surface. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact at their boundaries, where most geological activity occurs.
Which layer in the geosphere supports the tectonic plates?
The upper layer. It is filled with melted liquid.

What plastic like layer has tectonic plates ride on it?
The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
Tectonic plates float on a layer of the earth called the?
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
What plates float on a underlying molten layer?
Tectonic plates float on an underlying molten layer.
How do tectonic plates cause contenitial drift?
Because tectonic plates move, therefore if the continent is on it, it moves with it!
What layer contains the tectonic plates?
the 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.
The tectonic plates are located in a layer that is?
The tectonic plates are located in Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. Movements of these plates are responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shaping of Earth's surface features.
What is a large crust layer that moves as one unit?
A tectonic plate is a large crust layer that moves as one unit across the Earth's surface. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact at their boundaries, where most geological activity occurs.
What layer of the earth containsthe tectonic plates?
the crust.
