What else can I help you with?
What is the type of boundary where two plates move together causing one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Subduction
What layer of the earth do its plates move on?
the lithosphere but mostly inner mantle
What is the type of plate boundaries where two plates move together causing one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Subduction
What is divided into pieces called tetonic plates?
The Earth's lithosphere is divided into large pieces called tectonic plates. These plates can move and interact with each other along their boundaries, resulting in various geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
How do lithosphere plates move where convection currents rise?
They move apart.
What are the plates that move and the lithosphere is made of them?
The plates that move are called tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of these plates, which consist of both the crust and the upper part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with each other at plate boundaries.
What part of the mantle allows tectonic plates to move?
The lithosphere.
What happens in asthenosphere?
It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these
What allows the tectonic plates in the lithosphere to move?
the hot magma moves around and they move.
What is the type of boundary where two plates move together causing one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Subduction
What comprises the lithosphere?
The lithosphere outermost part of any rocky planet. The earth's lithosphere is comprised of the mantle and upper crust. The lithosphere is formed of plates that fit together, and at times move and shift, causing earthquakes.
What layer of the earth do its plates move on?
the lithosphere but mostly inner mantle
What is partially molten layer on which tectonic plates of the lithosphere move?
crust
