Question

The study of lithospheric plate movement and their resulting activities is known as _____. the rock cycle thermodynamics plate tectonics mantle convection

Answer 1

Option C, Plate tectonics

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the theory of plate tectonics our earth consists of large number of different types of plates which are able to glide over the mantle. The crust and the outer part of the mantle is called lithosphere and as compared to the lithosphere, the tectonic plates are hard and acts like a rigid shell

Tectonic plates are also referred as lithospheric plates due to base similarity

Hence, option C is correct

Answer 2

The study of lithospheric plate movement and associated activities is known as Plate tectonics. It mainly deals with the study how the rigid lithospheric plates move over the underlying mantle.
