How are the asthenosphere and lithosphere involed with plate tectonics?
The lithosphere is the brittle surface layer composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is the ductile upper mantle on which the lithosphere is able to move.
What is the theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on the top of the asthenosphere called?
The theory is called Plate Tectonics.
Instrument used in studying plate tectonics?
instruments used in plate tectonics?
What will happen to the earth if plate tectonics will not take place give the answer?
the plate tectonics will be flat and no more volcanoes.
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 branch of geology know for plate tectonics?
the branch of geology for plate tectonics is asthenosphere.
Where is the asthenosphere and what does it do?
The asthenosphere is a section of the upper mantle that enables plate tectonics.
Does mars have a asthenosphere?
Mars does not have an asthenosphere like Earth. The asthenosphere is a layer in Earth's upper mantle that is semi-fluid and allows for plate tectonics to occur. Mars does not have active plate tectonics, so it does not have a comparable asthenosphere.
What is the layer upon which plate tectonics move?
The asthenosphere.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
What theory that plates move around on the asthenosphere?
It is plate tectonics.
What theory states that plates move around on the athenosphere?
The theory that states that plates move around on the asthenosphere is called plate tectonics. This theory explains the movement of the Earth's lithosphere into different plates and their interactions at plate boundaries due to the convective currents in the asthenosphere beneath them.
What theory states that plates move around the asthenosphere?
plate tectonics
What is the part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?
Plate tectonics
What theory states that plated move around on the asthenosphere?
It is plate tectonics.
What theory states plates move around on the asthenosphere?
It is plate tectonics.
What theory states tht plates move around the asthenosphere?
plate tectonics
