题目Tectonic plates are mainly composed of _. A. only soil B. only magma C. lithosphere which includes crust and upper mantle D. water and air 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 C。解析:板块主要由岩石圈组成,岩石圈包括地壳和上地幔。选项A说板块仅由土壤组成是错误的,土壤只是地壳表面很薄的一部分。
Tectonic plates are composed of the rigid outer portion of the earth, called lithosphere (from the Greek word "lithos"="rock"). With a thickness of about 100 km, the lithosphere is composed of an upper layer of crust (~7 km thick under the oceans, and ~50 km thick under the continent...
I. Tectonic Plates: Definition and Composition 1.1 Definition: Tectonic plates are large sections of the Earth's lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath. 1.2 Composition: These plates are composed of both continental and oceanic crusts, along with the underlying uppermost mantle...
Continental plates are lighter and less dense. They are composed of granite rocks which are made of quartz and feldspar. Oceanic plates are denser and heavier. They are made of basaltic rocks. The ways that tectonic plates interact with each other are known as boundaries. There are th...
Earth’s lithosphere is composed of seven major tectonic plates, and additional minor plates. Each plate shifts somewhere between 0 and 10 mm annually. The boundaries where plates meet are sites of transformation. Depending on the type of boundary, the interactions of tectonic plates can cause ear...
Tectonic Plates are responsible for shaping the earth's crust. Every continent formed rises above the sea due to plate tectonics. It causes earthquakes, vol...

Layers of the Earth: The Earth consists of several layers that sit on top of one another. The outermost layer is the lithosphere, and this layer is made from tectonic plates. Answer and Explanation:1 The lithosphere is broken into several tectonic plates that are composed of hard rocks. This...
