The Earth's surface is not very rigid; it is composed of tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates can move, bend, and break due to geological processes like tectonic activity, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. While the crust can seem solid and stable in some areas, it is actually dynamic and constantly changing over geological time scales.
What else can I help you with?
What is a number of rigid but moving pieces of earths surface?
Tectonic plates are the rigid but moving pieces of Earth's surface that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates interact at plate boundaries, leading to various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
What is rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
Which layer of the atmosphere is furthest from earths surface?
Cirrus clouds are very high in the atmosphere making then furthest from the Earth's surface. They are very thin and wispy in appearance.
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.

What is the rigid layer of the earths surface that is made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
It's called the lithosphere.

How would you describe the plates that form earths crust rigid or half melted?
rigid
Why is difficult to determine earths structure?
Because Earth is very very large and we live just on the very surface.
Which make up the hard and rigid surface of the earth?
The lithosphere makes up the rigid surface of the Earth.
Why do we need to conserve gold silver and platinum?
Because there is very little of them at the Earths surface.
What percent of the earths surface is the US?
100
