On the surface and under the oceans of the Earth. They vary in thickness from around 2 miles to 80 miles. Every part of the Earth's surface is a tectonic plate. The entire crust is made of these plates. The movement of these plates against each other are what causes earthquakes, many of the worlds volcanoes, and tsunamis.
See the links below for information and maps of the worlds tectonic plates.
