Question

Which layer of the earth is responsible for continental and oceanic plate movement?

(I know this is in the wrong category, I could not find the right one.)

A. crust

B. mantle

C. inner core

D. outer core

Answer 1

Answer: B. Mantle

Explanation:

I just couldn't pass up answering this question. I think the earth is very interesting.

The Earth's mantle is a thick layer of hot, flowing rock that lies beneath the crust. Convection currents within the mantle are responsible for the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates, which make up the continents and the ocean floor. As the mantle convects, it drags the plates along with it, causing them to move and interact with each other at their boundaries. This movement is responsible for many geological phenomena, including earthquakes, volcanoes, and the formation of mountain ranges.

Answer 2

The answer is the earths crust
