How is lithosphere divided and how many plates were there?
Tectonic plates, 3 plates
How are the layers of the earth related to the movement of the earths tectonic plates?
The layers of the Earth, such as the lithosphere and asthenosphere, are directly related to the movement of tectonic plates. The lithosphere, which comprises the rigid outer part of the Earth, is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement and interaction of these plates is what drives processes like plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
What are the segments into which the lithosphere is divided?
The lithosphere is divided into what we call tectonic plates.
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below and interact with one another at plate boundaries, where most earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.
What are the subdivision of lithosphere?
Lithosphere is categorized into two sections. They are crust and upper most mantle. Crust includes continental and oceanic crust and technology.
Are tectonic plates part of the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
How is Earth's crust related to its lithosphere?
The crust, along with the attached uppermost brittle mantle, is called the lithosphere. Tectonic plates are also known as lithospheric plates.
Tectonic plates float on what?
The tectonic plates float on the lithosphere. This overlies the asthenosphere.
What are lithosphere plates and how are lithosphere plates related to earthquakes?
they are related by,they are plates
What are the sections the lithosphere?
tectonic plates
What are the sections of the lithosphere?
tectonic plates
Contains the tectonic plates?
lithosphere
Why do earthquake occur in the lithosphere?
Because there are tectonic plates there in the lithosphere.

Tectonic plates, 3 plates

The movement and interaction of these plates is what drives processes like plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
Is the lithosphere located in the plates why not?
Yes, the tectonic plates-both continental and oceanic- are part of the lithosphere.
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.
