Lithosphere is broken into separate sections called?
The lithosphere is broken into separate sections called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and move around due to the forces generated by the Earth's internal heat. The movement of these plates leads to processes such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
The lithosphere is broken into separate sections called what?
The lithosphere is broken into about 100 separate sections called tectonic or crustal plates. They are divided by faults which are very much like cracks between plates. These plates float on top of the asthenosphere. A rift valley is a deep valley that forms where two plates move apart.
Why do some places in the world have more natural disasters than others?
Because of the tectonic plates. Some countries are on the edge of tectonic plates.
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below and interact with one another at plate boundaries, where most earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.

What is it called when lithosphere is broken into separate sections?
tectonic plates or you could say plate tectonics
What is it called when 2 tectonic plates separate?
When two tectonic plates separate, it is called seafloor spreading. This process occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises from below the Earth's surface and solidifies.
What caused Gondwanaland to separate?
tectonic plates
What do tectonic plates separate into?
no flex zone

How doe earthquakes begin?
When the tectonic plates separate.
What is formed when tectonic plates separate?
a divergent boundary
What will happened if tectonic plates separate?
causes of earthquake
The places between plates moving together are called?
The places between plates moving together are called convergent boundaries. These boundaries are characterized by plates colliding and often resulting in tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
