Question

The surface, or blank, of the earth is broken into about blank plates that float on the liquid blank

Answer 1

Lithosphere

13 major plates

Asthenosphere

Explanation:

The surface or lithosphere of the earth is broken into about 7 major plates that floats on the liquid asthenosphere.

The analogy above describes the theory behind plate tectonics.

• The crust and the rigid part of the upper mantle forms the lithosphere.
• The lithosphere is broken down into series of pieces called plates.
• There about 13 plates on earth surface.
• The rigid plates moves on the weak asthenosphere below as a result of convection currents.
