Tectonic plates
The pieces of lithosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere underneath and are responsible for the movement and interactions that shape the Earth's surface through processes like plate tectonics.
tectonic plate
The Earth's lithosphere is divided into large pieces called tectonic plates. These plates can move and interact with each other along their boundaries, resulting in various geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The pieces of Earth's lithosphere are called tectonic plates. These rigid segments float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and move due to convection currents in the mantle. The interactions between these plates can lead to geological events such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
Earth's plates are pieces of the lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. The lithosphere includes both the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These tectonic plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them, allowing for movement that leads to geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
