What is the lithoshere composed of?
The lithosphere is composed of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. It is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is where most geological activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, occurs.
What is the part of the earth that the lithosphere plates float on?
Asthenosphere
Why do tectonic plates float on the atmosphere?
They don't. Tectonic plates float on the asthenosphere, as they are a bit less dense.
Plasticlike layer of Earth on which the lithosperic plates float and move around?
The plasticlike layer of Earth is the asthenosphere. It is a zone of the upper mantle where rock is soft and capable of gradual flow. The lithospheric plates float and move on top of the asthenosphere, contributing to the movement of tectonic plates.
What do you call the layer of tar like mantle under the tectonic plates?
The layer of tar-like mantle under the tectonic plates is called the asthenosphere. It is a partially molten and ductile region of the Earth's mantle that allows the lithospheric plates to move on top of it.

Plates float on the?
asthenosphere
How does the material of the asthenosphere differ from the material of the lithoshere?
the material in the astehnosphere can flow slowly and the lithosphere flows on top of the astenosphere HOPE I HELPED!!
Tectonics plates float on what semiliquid layer?
Tectonic plates float on the asthenosphere, which is a semi-liquid layer of the Earth's upper mantle. The movement of these plates is driven by convection currents in the asthenosphere.
Tectonic plates float on what?
The tectonic plates float on the lithosphere. This overlies the asthenosphere.
What is the top rocky layer of the crust?
The top rocky layer of the Earth's crust is called the lithosphere. It is composed of both the upper crust and the solid portion of the upper mantle and is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath.
Is asthenosphere a plate boundary?
No. The asthenosphere is a ductile layer of the mantle that tectonic plates float on top of.
Where do plates float on the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?
l;k
What layer do the lithospheric plates float around on?
Asthenosphere
What is the part of the earth that the lithosphere plates float on?
Asthenosphere
Are tectonic plates part of the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
What type of plate boundary is asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is not a plate boundary. It is the layer of Earth's mantle on which tectonic plates float.
