B. linked pieces of lithosphere which float atop the asthenosphere. C. composed of either continental or continental and oceanic lithosphere. D. moved by the creation of new crust and subduction of old crust. E. significantly more plastic than the rigid asthenosphere atop which they float.

Answer:

A. discrete pieces of lithosphere which move with respect to one another.

D. moved by the creation of new crust and subduction of old crust.

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle.

The plate tectonic theory is one of the theories that leads to the concept of displacement of the earth's lithospheric crust.

  • As per the theory, the meg continental boundaries got separate and led to the formation of different plate zones.
  • Similarly, the mega ocean also got divided due to the displacement of the landmasses.
  • Leading to the creating of divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries.

Hence the option A, B, D, and E are correct.
