Which layer of the earth do the plates ride on?
The tectonic plates ride on the uppermost layer of the Earth's mantle, known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere includes the rigid upper part of the mantle as well as the crust, and it is broken into several large and small tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
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
The asthenosphere and lithosphere are parts of earths?
geosphere
What layer moves at tectonic plates?
The lithosphere is the layer that moves with the tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
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.
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.

geosphere
What plates float on a underlying molten layer?
Tectonic plates float on an underlying molten layer.
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 layer of the earth containsthe tectonic plates?
the crust.
Which layer do you find the tectonic plates?
The crust or lithosphere.
