Lithospheric plates are a number of rigid but moving pieces of earths surface.
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
The process is called erosion.
The theory of plate tectonics states that the lithosphere is broken into moving pieces of earth driven by convection currents located inside the mantle.
The crust.
The surface of the Earth isn't entirely solid; like the fragments of an eggshell, the crust is in pieces. These pieces, called "plates", can move very slowly across the surface. The North American plate, for example, is moving west away from Europe at a speed of an inch or so per year.

As a rock is falling through the atmosphere, it is a meteor. When it hits the earths surface, it is a meteoroid.

Gerardus Mercator developed the Mercator projection in the 16th century, which is a cylindrical map projection that preserves straight lines. This projection became popular for navigation due to its ability to show lines of constant course as straight lines on the map. While it distorts the size of objects away from the equator, it is still widely used for world maps.
