Answer:

the plates of the lithosphere move (or float) on this hot, malleable semi liquid zone in the upper mantle, directly underneath the lithosphere

Explanation:

  • Lithosphere is the outermost layer of earth surface which contains crust and uppermost solid mantle.
  • Tectonic plates are subdivision of lithosphere where tectonic activities take place. Tectonic activities often occur in Lithosphere which affects the structure of this layer by changing the landscape on earth surface.
  • The Lithosphere is the layer where soil forming process takes place.  The lithosphere influences temperature difference on earth when it reacts with the other layers called atmosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere.
