All in all, there are roughly 75 major and minor tectonic plates which cover the entire surface of the planet. Plates can be composed of oceanic crust, continental crust, or a combination of both.
The names of these plate are:-
North American Plate, Eurasian Plate, Australian Plate, African Plate, Antarctic Plate, South American Plate, Pacific Plate. Then 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.

there are 7 major plates in earth. they are Eurasian plate, pacific plate, the north American plate,the south American plate antarctic plate, the African plate and the indo- Australian plate.
The earth is made up of multiple tectonic plates. These plates are propelled by convection in the mantle layer below the crust (lithosphere)
Tectonic Plates ----APEX ;D
The Earth has a magnetic field approximately like a magnetic dipole, with the magnetic field S pole near the Earth's geographic north pole and the other magnetic field N pole near the Earth's geographic south pole. A compass can determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles by using a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the North end) which is pivoting free to align itself with Earth's magnetic field.
There are two types of global poles; magnetic and geographic. Neither were invented. The magnetic poles are two points on the Earth where the magnetic field is most intense. The geographic poles are the northernmost and southernmost positions on the globe.
Convection currents caused by the earth's radioactive core move the continental plates.

Tectonic Plates
There are 9 major tectonic plates in the Earth\'s oceanic crust, six of which receive the names of the continents they hold.
The Earth's plates are called tectonic plates.
The plates in earth are located in the litmosphere.
There are 43 plates on the earth.
The seven major plates of the Earth are: Eurasian plate, Pacific Plate, North American Plate, South American Plate, Antarctic Plate, African Plate and Indo-Australian Plate.
