Question

which sphere of earth is associated with plate tectonics?
a. atmosphere
b. biosphere
c. hydrosphere
d. lithosphere

Explanation:

Plate tectonics involves the movement of large plates. The lithosphere consists of the crust and upper mantle, which are the rigid outer layers of the Earth where these plates are located. The atmosphere (A) is the air around the Earth, the biosphere (B) is the living organisms, and the hydrosphere (C) is the water on Earth. None of these are directly related to plate movement like the lithosphere.

Answer:

D. lithosphere
