The Crust is the :. 1. outer most layer of the Earth.. 2. It is the thinnest layer.. Layers of the Earth. 1. 2. / . 24. 3. / . 24. Plate Tectonics. Earth’s lithosphere is broken up into plates. Hot, weak asthenosphere allows for plates to move. Plates are in motion and continually changing in shape and size. pg. . 115. http://www.indiana.edu/~g103/G103/week9/wk9.html. . http://www.uwgb.edu/DutchS/EarthSC202Notes/quakes.htm. . Folding. : .
