What are large moving rock slabs that make up earths hard surface?
The crust of the Earth is made of Igneous, Metamorphic_rocks, and Sedimentary_rockrocks. The Oceanic_crustof the sheet is different from its Continental_crust.theoceanic crust is made of Basalt, Diabase, and Gabbro,while the continental crust is made of Graniteand oter dense rocks, also they are not slabs unless if you mean rocks that were in a fault a fault: is a fracture in the Earth's crust where one side moves with respect to the other side. OK is that enough info!
What is a break in the crust where slabs slip past each other called?
There are breaks in the Earth's crust where slabs of rock slip past each other. These places are called fault lines.
Gigantic slabs of rock that make up Earth's crust?
tectonic plates!
When Theory that states that Earth and crust and upper mantle are broken into enormous slabs?
Plate tectonics.
The idea that Earth's crust and rigid upper mantle are broken into enormous slabs called plates is known as?
The idea that Earth's crust and rigid upper mantle are broken into enormous slabs called plates is known as plate tectonics. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below them and interact at plate boundaries, where various geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.
Mountains are made by movements in earths?
Yes! Amazing isn't it! Mountains are formed by slow but gigantic movements of the earths crust. The Earth's crust is made up of 6 huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. When to slabs of the earth's crust smash into each other the land can be pushed upwards, forming mountains. Many of the greatest mountain ranges of the world have formed because of enormous collisions between continents.
What is the slab of the earths crust that regularly moves away from or collides with other slabs called?
The slab of the Earth's crust that regularly moves away from or collides with other slabs is called a tectonic plate. These plates make up the Earth's lithosphere and their movement is responsible for processes such as earthquakes and mountain formation.
What slabs of rock are the earths hard shell?
tectonic plates
What are the slabs of rock called in the earths hard shell?
Tectonic plates

What is the area that is made of huge slabs of rock that floats on the mantle?
Crust
What is a break in the crust where slabs slip past each other called?
There are breaks in the Earth's crust where slabs of rock slip past each other. These places are called fault lines.
Can a molten liquid have the strength to push giants slabs of earths crust?
Magma itself does not force the plates to move. Plate movement is caused by convection currents in the mantle because of intense heat from the Earth's core.
Gigantic slabs of rock that make up Earth's crust?
tectonic plates!
What is oceanic and continental plates?
These are individual broken slabs of gigantic masses, that makes up the earths crust and are capable of floatational movement over the weak, plastic, hot and highly molten portion of the mantle called the asthenosphere.
What is a Vallie?
Formed as large slabs of rock sink and slide down into gaps in the crust
What do you call the moving irregularly shape slabs that make up the Earths lithosphere?
Tectonic plates.
