What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?

Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.


What layer in earths mantle do the plates slide over?

The asthenosphere.

What are tectonic plates floating on?

Tectonic plates are not floating; they are instead moving on the semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle known as the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle where rocks are partially molten, allowing the plates to move due to convection currents in the mantle.


What can be found directly under the plates of the earths crust?

The Earth's tectonic plates lay on top of the outer layer of the mantle. This layer is known as the asthenosphere.


What do earths tectonic plates do?
