What do crustal plates carry?
seafloor
Can plated carry continents or parts of the ocean floor but not both?
Tectonic Plates can't carry both ocean floor and continents on the same plate.
How sea floor spreading provides a mechanism by which continents move?
The fact that plates move apart means that the plates will carry anything.
Is thefollowing sentence true o false plates can carry continentes or parts of the ocean floor but noy both?
false
What is things rest upon crustal plates?
The continents and the ocean floor rest upon the plates.
How does the movement of tectonic plates and continents relate?
When the plates drift apart through sea floor spreading, so do the continents
How do plates play a role in Pangaea changing into 7 continents?
Plates play a role in Pangaea changing into 7 continents because there are 7 major plates in the world. These plates are being moved by sea-floor spreading, pulling the continents along with them.
What makes the continent and the ocean floor unstable?
The continents and ocean floor are unstable because the plates of the lithosphere move. When the plate move, they cause the continents and ocean floor to move.
What layer of the earths make up these plates and what layer are are the continents sliding on?
The plates on the top of the upper mantle are referred to as the lithosphere, which slides on the asthenosphere.well the mantle causes the continents to move on the ocean floor and sand it makes it slideyea know the crustti is i dont ge ehttt

How does sea floor spreading make the continents move?
Under the oceanic crust is the layer of the earth called the mantle. This layer is moving rock that is very, very hot! As the hot material in the mantle pushes up through the crust in the sea floor, it cools and becomes new crust as it pushes out (spreads) the sea floor. This movement in the plates causes other plates (continental and oceanic) to move as well. This is how sea floor spreading causes continents to move.
