Question
which region of earth did john tuzo wilson believe was broken into plates? lithosphere outer core lower mantle asthenosphere
John Tuzo Wilson was a geophysicist. The theory of plate tectonics, which he contributed to, states that the lithosphere (the rigid outer layer of the Earth) is broken into tectonic plates. The outer core is liquid, the lower mantle is semi - solid but not part of the plate structure in the plate tectonic theory, and the asthenosphere is a ductile layer beneath the lithosphere that allows the lithospheric plates to move.
