Tectonic Plates
A tectonic plate is one of about 30 giant sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other. Tectonic plates are responsible for the movements of continents, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. The boundaries where plates interact can be places of intense geological activity.

The large sections of lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates are rigid sections of Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Tectonic platea.
These are known as tectonic plates.

That would be the lithosphere. This is broken into sections known as lithospheric (or tectonic) plates.
plate tectionics theory......................:-)
The upper mantle is divided into two main sections: the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is rigid and includes the crust, while the asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere where convection currents occur.
It is called plates.
