Question 10 • Physical Science

According to the theory of plate tectonics, which is one feature that plates carry?

Answer
A
inner core
B
asthenosphere
C
lower mantle
D
seafloor

Explanation

Tectonic plates are pieces of Earth’s rigid outer layer that move across the softer asthenosphere. They carry parts of the crust, including the seafloor, so “seafloor” is the correct choice. The inner core and lower mantle are deep inside Earth, and the asthenosphere lies beneath the plates.
