The asthenosphere.
Tectonic plates are able to slide along due to the continuous movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outer rigid layer. This movement is driven by the underlying asthenosphere, a partially molten layer that acts as a lubricant, allowing the plates to move. The interactions between plates at their boundaries, such as divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries, also facilitate their sliding movement.
The continents are sliding on the asthenosphere, which is a partially molten layer beneath the Earth's lithosphere. This movement is due to the slow convection currents in the asthenosphere causing the tectonic plates to move over time.
The plates are made up of the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. The movement of these plates is caused by the flow of the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath the lithosphere.
AnswerIt is caused by the convection currents and the heat transfer of the Earth. it is because the centre of the earth is filled with magma this creates energy and pushes the plates up, this then heats the sea and the plates float
The lithosphere is the layer of Earth's mantle that plates slide over. It is divided into several pieces called tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. Movement of these plates is responsible for many geological phenomena such as earthquakes and mountain formation.
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
the plates are apart of the crust,the upper layer of the earth
The lithosphere has plates.

The Lithosphere.
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
