Question

question 8 of 28 which of earths layers is made up of tectonic plates? a. the mantle b. the core c. the asthenosphere d. the lithosphere

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The tectonic plates are part of the Earth's lithosphere. The lithosphere is the rigid, outermost shell of the Earth, and it 'floats' on the more ductile asthenosphere below. The mantle is beneath the lithosphere, the core is the innermost part of the Earth, and the asthenosphere is a semi - fluid layer on which the lithosphere moves.

Answer:

D. The lithosphere
