What is the term that refers to several large sections into which the lithoshpere is broken?

The term that refers to the several large sections into which the lithosphere is broken is "tectonic plates." These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact at their boundaries, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.


What are the large sections of lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere?

The large sections of lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates are rigid sections of Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

The idea that Earth's lithosphere is divided into large moving sections is called the?

The idea that Earth's lithosphere is divided into large moving sections is called the theory of plate tectonics. This theory explains how the Earth's lithosphere is broken into several plates that shift and interact with each other, resulting in various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.

What is the large chunk of earths crust?

Earth's crust is broken into sections called tectonic plates. They each float on the mantle, as part of the Earth called the lithosphere. Each is separated by highly seismic regions that usually spawn volcanoes. One of which is the Ring of Fire in the Pacific.
