plates of the earth's crust that float on top of the molted mantle layer.
Sections of Earth's crust that "float" over the upper mantle.
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth that contains tectonic plates. These plates are divided pieces of the lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
The pieces of the Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle and interact with each other, causing movements such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.

The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
There called tectonic plates, and they do not float on anything.
The Earth's crust is divided into several large tectonic plates, with around 7 major plates and several smaller ones. These plates float on the semi-fluid upper mantle and interact at their boundaries, where most of the Earth's seismic activity occurs.
Earth's crust is cracked into several tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle beneath. These plates interact with each other, causing phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
The Earth's crust
Earth is made up of: the inner core, the outer core, the mantle, and the crust. The crust of the earth, or the outer rocky layer, is divided between oceanic crust and continental crust. These crusts float atop the mantle, which is made up of very hot molten rock. All of the continents, including Australia, are constantly moving, or floating.
