What area has huge slabs of rock that float on the mantle?
The Earth's lithosphere consists of tectonic plates made up of huge slabs of rock that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere of the upper mantle. These plates move around, interacting at their boundaries, resulting in geological phenomena like earthquakes and mountain formation.
What area of the earth's layers is made of huge slabs of rock that float on the mantle?
The lithosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth that is made up of large slabs of rock called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle beneath them. Movements and interactions between these plates are responsible for phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What is the fracture between two slabs of rock on the Earth's crust?
crevase
Gigantic slabs of rock that make up Earth's crust?
tectonic plates!
What are the mineral called that are formed in the narrow channels or slabs of rock?
The minerals formed in narrow channels or slabs of rock are called vein minerals. These minerals are deposited within the fractures of the rock, often in a crystalline form. They can include a variety of minerals such as quartz, calcite, and sulfides.
What is the area that is made of huge slabs of rock that floats on the mantle?
Crust

When 2 slabs of rock collide what happens?
An earthquake . . . the tectonic plates are slabs of rock and when thy shift, it creates an earthquake.

How do you spell rock curie?
The likely word is the term quarry (place where slabs are chiseled out of rock).
What are the slabs of rock called in the earths hard shell?
Tectonic plates
What is the fracture between two slabs of rock on the Earth's crust?
crevase
When gravity causes huge amount of rock or soil to be carried down a slope this is referred to as a?
Rock slide / land slide / mass wasting.
What property of magma causes it to rise toword earth's surface?
It is less dense than its surrounding rock matter
Gigantic slabs of rock that make up Earth's crust?
tectonic plates!
Why placing the rock in the water causes the water level to rise?
Becuase the rock takes up space and has volume, it pushes the water out of the way.
