Are plates of earth similar as the layers of earth Are they the same thing?
No. The layers of Earth are portions of the planet that are position one on top of another, somewhat like the layers of an onion. The plates are sections are sections of the uppermost layers that break up the surface of the planet.
What two types of plates make up the earth?
The two main types of plates that make up the Earth's lithosphere are oceanic plates, which are denser and thinner, and continental plates, which are less dense and thicker. These plates interact with each other at their boundaries, causing movements such as subduction, spreading, and collisions that shape the Earth's surface.
How are minerals linked to plate tectonics?
Minerals Make up rocks, Which make up the layers of the Earth(Crust, Lithosphere, asthenosphere, and Mantle)(Minerals make up the inner and outter core). The layers of the earth(crust) make up plate tectonics; convection currents and Plates(made of rock)
What is the composition of nails?
Nails are made up of layers/plates of keratinized epithelial cells.
What are the layers that make up the upper mantle?
What are the layers that make up the upper mantle.
What are earth's rigid outer layers broken up into?
Earth's rigid outer layers are broken up into tectonic plates, which float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates move relative to each other, causing phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain-building.
What is the two layers make up lithosphere?
The two layers that make up the lithosphere are the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, while the upper mantle is the solid part of the mantle that lies just below the crust. These two layers together form the rigid outer shell of the Earth known as the lithosphere.
Is the earth composed of the south America plate?
No. The South American Plate is just one of several major tectonic plates that make up Earth's uppermost layers.
How thick was the iron on the Merrimack?
The CSS Virginia had two 2" plates backed up with two 4" layers of wood backed up with a 12" thickness of wood. So a total of 4 inches of iron and 20 inches of wood.
What 2 layers make up the Earth's crust?
The Earth's crust is composed of two layers: the continental crust, which makes up the landmasses, and the oceanic crust, which forms the seafloor. These two crustal layers differ in composition, thickness, and density.
What kind of mountain range formed when rock layers are squeezed and forced up ward?
tectonic plates
