Plate
Yes, it is true.
a section of both continental and oceanic lithosphere
Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
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.
