Through which of the following actions does the lithosphere move over the asthenosphere?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Plate tectonics.
- Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into large slabs of solid rock, called “plates,” that glide over Earth's mantle, the rocky inner layer above Earth’s core.
- Earth’s solid outer layer, which includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, is called the lithosphere.
