Tectonic plates, 3 plates
Many parts of Latin America experience volcanic activity and earthquakes. This is due to the movement of five tectonic plates. The two highest mountain peaks in Mexico are volcanoes.
volcanoes usually form at the edges of tectonic plates, which is one of the reasons that there are many in the Ring Of Fire. North America is not really located at the edge of many plates so there are not that many volcanoes.
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates

Most mountains are formed by convergent tectonic plate movements. In this process, tectonic plates crash into each other causing land masses to rise up out of the ground. These processes have formed many of the mountains in Central and South America.
how many tectonic plates are made of oceanic crust
Bali is located on two tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates are plates that float on the earths mantle. There are 8 major tectonic plates on the earth and at the joints of these many earthquakes seem to occur.

When I first saw you, I was certain that the tectonic plates had just shifted. The Earth's lithosphere is made up of seven or eight major, and many minor tectonic plates.
