Tectonic or lithospheric plates.
The place where tectonic plates touch
The outermost rigid layer of the earth is called the crust.
No. According to scientific theory, tectonic plates of the lithosphere (the Earth's crust and outermost mantle) are below the ocean.

The tectonic plates consist of crust and the outermost part of the mantle.
Tectonic plates
The outermost layer of the earth is the lithosphere, from the greek "lithos" meaning stone. It includes all of the tectonic plates, and "floats" on the asthenosphere.
The lithosphere is the outermost shell of a rocky planet. On Earth, it is the crust and the upper mantle of the planet, containing the tectonic plates.
consist of large sections called tectonic plates, which move relative to each other.
The outermost layer of the earth is the lithosphere, from the greek "lithos" meaning stone. It includes all of the tectonic plates, and "floats" on the asthenosphere.
The lithosphere (a combination of the crust and the uppermost brittle layer of the mantle) is divided into tectonic plates, including the seven major tectonic plates.
