materials sink, as warmer material rises. In the rifts between tectonic plates, plumes of superheated mantle material are forced upward toward the surface. As the mantle material encounters the surface, it cools and hardens, forming new crust and pushing the plates to either side of the rift ...
Tectonic plates are huge pieces of Earth’s lithosphere, or outer shell, that shift on top of the Earth’s mantle, or the rocky inner layer of Earth. Plates can be made up of oceanic lithosphere or continental lithosphere. In total, Earth’s lithosphere is composed of seven major tectonic...
