Question
- which of the following is the part of the earths crust that moves one to six inches per
year?
a: lithosphere b: continental c: oceanic d: tectonic
Brief Explanations
Tectonic plates are parts of the Earth's crust that move at a rate of about one to six inches per year. The lithosphere includes both the crust and the upper - mantle. Continental and oceanic refer to types of crust (continental crust is thicker and less dense, oceanic crust is thinner and denser), but it is the tectonic plates (which can be continental - type or oceanic - type) that are in motion.
