The Earth's tectonic plates are primarily located in the lithosphere, which includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and are found across various regions, including continental and oceanic areas. The interactions of these plates are responsible for geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation. Major tectonic plate boundaries are found in regions like the Pacific Ring of Fire and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Which region of earth is soft like putty that allows the movement of techtonic plates?
The region of Earth that is soft like putty and allows for the movement of tectonic plates is called the asthenosphere. This layer is located beneath the lithosphere and is composed of partially molten rock, which enables the tectonic plates above it to float and move. The asthenosphere's semi-fluid characteristics facilitate the dynamic processes of plate tectonics, including continental drift and seismic activity.
Which polar region contains more more land?
This answer is defined by polar regions between 60 and 90 degrees of latitude. The southern polar region is included in the Antarctic region of the planet. Antarctica is a continent that makes up 10% of the Earth's surface. the northern polar region is located in the Arctic ocean, and it is surrounded by more land than you will find in the southern polar region.
What contains most of the ozone?
The ozone layer contains most of the ozone. It is present in the stratospheric region.The stratosphere contains most of the ozone.If that's what you were asking...
In which layer of the earth atmosphere is most ozone found?
Ozone is most commonly found in the stratosphere, which is the second layer of Earth's atmosphere. This region contains the ozone layer, a region of high ozone concentration that absorbs most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
What part of earth contains plates?
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth that contains tectonic plates. These plates are divided pieces of the lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
What is the earthquack?
due to techtonic disterbence ,shaking of earth
What makes the earth crust move?
The vibration of the techtonic plates. :)
What are the enormous slabs of Earth on which the continents and oceans sit are called?
techtonic plates
'how did the Indian ocean earthquake start'?
Because of faults in the Earth's techtonic plates
How mountains got there form?
by techtonic plates coliding and the earth is pushed up
What is the cause of earth quake?
the techtonic plates moving, earthquakes mainly happen on the crakes in the techtonic plates like new zealand has quite a few because they are on a crack.
What region of the Earth's atmosphere contains a layer of ozone?
Stratosphere contains layer of ozone. It is called as ozone layer.
Is the Antarctic in Antarctica?
The Antarctic is the name of the region of the earth that contains the continent named Antarctica.
What is the Plate under the ocean?
Techtonic plates move under the earth moving land and water.
Which atmosspheric layer contains most of the ozone?
Stratospheric region of the earth contains the max concentrations of ozone and is thus called the ozone layer.
What natural process led to and caused the Japan earthquake?
The movement of techtonic plates under the earth's crust
