Question

which plate is thicker​

Answer 1

Answer:

The largest plates are the Antarctic, Eurasian, and North American plates. They're 125 km thick on average

Explanation:

The largest plates are the Antarctic, Eurasian, and North American plates. Plates are on average 125km thick, reaching maximum thickness below mountain ranges. Oceanic plates (50-100km) are thinner than the continental plates (up to 200km) and even thinner at the ocean ridges where the temperatures are higher.

Answer 2

Continental plates are the thickest plate among the tectonic plates.

Explanation:

• Tectonic plates are the motion of large scale of plated that makes earth lithosphere since the movement began which is 3.5 billions years ago.
• However, there are two main plates called continental and oceanic plates are in the tectonic regions of the earth.
• The oceanic plates are formed by divergent plate boundaries which are composed of basalt rock. And continental plates by convergent plate boundaries which are composed of granite rock.
• However, oceanic crust is $6-7KM$ thick but continental plates are $30-70KM$ thick.
