The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?
metamorphic rock |
|
plates |
|
continents |
|
sedimentary rock |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
