Respuesta :
The Earth's lithosphere is broken up into a bunch of discrete pieces, called plates that move around the surface of the planet.
Answer: A) plates.
Answer: A) plates.
Correct answer: A). Plates
The tectonic plates are the pieces of earth's crust and mantle, which is together referred to as the lithosphere. The lithosphere is a rigid outermost layer of the planet that is broken down into the tectonic plates.
The plates move because the earth's lithosphere has a higher strength than the asthenosphere. During an earthquake, the plates move over each other.
Hence, the correct answer would be option A.
