What else can I help you with?
Witch term refers to sections of earth's crust and part of the upper mantle?
The term you are looking for is "tectonic plates." These are rigid segments of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, leading to phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
What type of crust is the thicket and witch is thinnest?
In geological terms, the Earth's crust is divided into two main types: continental crust and oceanic crust. Continental crust is generally thicker, averaging about 30-50 kilometers, while oceanic crust is thinner, averaging about 5-10 kilometers. Thus, oceanic crust is the thinnest type of crust. The "thicket" and "witch" terms do not appear to relate to geological contexts; if they refer to specific features or concepts, please provide more context for clarification.
Which of earth's layers contains soft ares on witch plates float?
The Earth's layer that contains soft areas on which tectonic plates float is the asthenosphere. This layer is located beneath the lithosphere, which includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The asthenosphere is partially molten and behaves in a ductile manner, allowing the rigid tectonic plates above it to move and interact.
What caused the continents to shift?
The movement of the continents, known as plate tectonics, is primarily driven by the slow movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid mantle beneath them, causing them to gradually shift position over millions of years due to forces like mantle convection and the pull of subducting plates. The shifting of the continents impacts various geologic processes such as mountain-building, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
What solid plastic layer of earth upon witch tectonic plates move is called?
The solid plastic layer of the Earth upon which tectonic plates move is called the asthenosphere. It lies beneath the rigid lithosphere and is characterized by its semi-fluid properties, allowing the tectonic plates to drift and interact. This movement is driven by convection currents within the underlying mantle.
How many major plates make up the earths crust?
There are seven major tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust: Pacific Plate, North American Plate, Eurasian Plate, African Plate, Antarctic Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, and South American Plate.

What is the process by witch new crust is created when seafloor moves apart and magma rises up?
through plate tentonics but before the plates shifted the continets were together as a super continet, called pangea i learned that in science class.
Witch planet is a dead planet?
Mercury is a dead planet because its tectonic plates have stopped shifting

How plaques tectonique moves?
The plaques tectoniques moves 3 different ways; converge ( french word) witch means that they bump into each other. They diverge ( french ) witch means separate from each other and coulisser ( french) witch means '' ils se frottent les uns contre les autres.
What drives the trx26 snow blower?
The motor drives the belt :witch drives a plate witch when engaged drives the wheels (short version) :with drives a pulley that turns the blower (short version)
How do earthquakes appear?
a earthquakes act by the two plates next to each other shift and rub againts each other witch creates an earthquake.

Why do camels have long necks?
Because they have extra bony plates between two successive vertebrate.
