What is the earths lithosphere broken up into?
Tectonic Plates
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
How is lithosphere divided and how many plates were there?
Tectonic plates, 3 plates
How are the layers of the earth related to the movement of the earths tectonic plates?
The layers of the Earth, such as the lithosphere and asthenosphere, are directly related to the movement of tectonic plates. The lithosphere, which comprises the rigid outer part of the Earth, is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement and interaction of these plates is what drives processes like plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
What are the segments into which the lithosphere is divided?
The lithosphere is divided into what we call tectonic plates.
What is earths lithosphere broken up into?
Tectonic Plates

Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
C There are two types of tectonic plates oceanic and continental what is the difference between these two types of plates?
The lithosphere displaces the asthenoshpere. Thick tectonic plates, such as those made of continental crust, displace more asthenosphere than do thin plates, such as those made of oceanic lithosphere.

What do you call the moving irregularly shape slabs that make up the Earths lithosphere?
Tectonic plates.
Earths Litosphere Is Broken Into Separate Sections Called?
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.
Are tectonic plates part of the asthenosphere or the lithosphere?
Tectonic plates are segments of the lithosphere. They float on top of the asthenosphere.
What is the soft layer of rock in the mantle?
The soft layer of rock in the mantle is called the asthenosphere. It is located beneath the lithosphere and consists of partially molten rock that allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
What is earths outer most physical layer divided into tectonic plates?
Earth's outermost physical layer is divided into tectonic plates known as the lithosphere. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and are responsible for the movement of continents due to the process of plate tectonics.
What part of earth contains plates?
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth that contains tectonic plates. These plates are divided pieces of the lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
Tectonic plates float on what?
The tectonic plates float on the lithosphere. This overlies the asthenosphere.
