tectonic plates
tectonic plates
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 Plates
That would be the lithosphere. This is broken into sections known as lithospheric (or tectonic) plates.
These are known as tectonic plates.
Tectonic platea.

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.
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.
It is called plates.
