Plate
Yes, it is true.
a section of both continental and oceanic lithosphere
The irregular section of the lithosphere that floats on Earth's mantle is known as the tectonic plates. These plates are composed of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, and they vary in size and shape. The movement of these plates is driven by convection currents in the underlying mantle, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.
the outer mantle
A plate is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the outermost rigid layer of the Earth's surface, and it is divided into tectonic plates. A focus refers to the point within the Earth where an earthquake originates.
Plate
The crust is actually part of the lithosphere, though it is 'carried' by the magma of the outer mantle.
They are constantly in motion.
The Lithosphere
A lithospheric plate.
Yes, it is true.
''plates'', it was on my crossword for homework (6th grader)
true
The lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth, which includes Earth's crust, and the underlying cool, dense, and rigid upper part of the mantle.
