Question

What is the speciality of tectonic plates​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tectonic plates are able to move because Earth's lithosphere has greater mechanical strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density variations in the mantle result in convection; that is, the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid mantle.

Answer 2

Answer:

Tectonic plates are a series of large blocks of rocks that make the Earth’s surface appear like a cracked eggshell

The tectonic plates are formed on the Earth’s outermost rigid shell, called the lithosphere. While every other planet also experiences tectonics that results in craters, volcanoes, mountains, and faults on their surfaces, plate tectonics is unique to Earth.
