The Tectonic Plates Move On Top Of The. According to the theory of plate tectonics, continents and ocean floors are parts of the lithospheric plates that lie on top of the asthenosphere. These plates fit together like a puzzle, but they're not stuck in one place. The earth’s crust is broken up into a series of massive sections called plates. One theory is slab pull. These tectonic plates rest upon the convecting mantle, which causes them to move. These plates lie on top of a partially. In plate tectonics, earth’s outermost layer, or lithosphere —made up of the crust and upper mantle—is broken into large rocky plates. Earth's thin outer shell is broken into big pieces called tectonic plates. Plate tectonics is the theory proposing that earth’s outer rocky shell is divided into seven major and several smaller rigid.
