plates
Large sections of Earth's crust and upper mantle are called tectonic plates. These plates are responsible for the movement and interactions that shape the Earth's surface, including the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
They are called plates!

The lithosphere is made up of the "upper mantle" and earth's crust.The lithosphere is broken into separate sections called plate tectonics or tectonic plates.
The earth's crust is broken into sections called tectonic plates, which slowly move around.
The layer of the Earth that is broken into separate sections called plates is the lithosphere. These plates move due to the flow of the underlying asthenosphere, causing phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity at plate boundaries.
That would be the lithosphere. This is broken into sections known as lithospheric (or tectonic) plates.
The Earth's lithosphere is broken into separate sections called plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and move due to the heat-driven convection currents below them.
Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into sections called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below them and interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to geological processes like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
