21-22.The crust and a part of the upper mantle make up the (continent, lithosphere). It is subdivided into portions called plates. (Continents, Plates) are large pieces of the upper few hundred kilometers of Earth that move as a single unit as it (floats, moves) above the mantle. 23-24. Plate tectonics is a (law, theory) which suggests that Earth's crust is made up of plates that constantly (move, rotate) and interact in various ways, thus, producing earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes, and other (geologic, land) features. 25-26. The crust is the (outermost, innermost) layer of the Earth. The crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle comprise the (lithosphere, asthenosphere)
