How many plates are in the crustal plates?

What is the evidence for the existence of crustal plates?
Worldwide, the mountains are the evidence of crustal plates.
Do plates and crustal plates differ?
No, plates and crustal plates are the same thing. They refer to the large, rigid sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move around on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates are made up of both oceanic and continental crust and are responsible for the movement of continents and the formation of geological features like mountains and earthquakes.
What crustal feature will form when two crustal plates move together?
a fault
When is the last movement of the crustal plate?
The crustal plates are in constant motion, there is no last movement
Where does crustal plates float?

What do crustal plates carry?

Can tectonic plates known as crustle plates?

Which crustal plates is the Philippines on?
pacific plate
How does the crustal plates moves?
by bubbling hot magma in the earth's inner core, erupting from volcanoes and causing earthquakes which cause the crustal plates to move.
How have crustal plates moved over time?
Molten magma from the mantle rises at the top oceanic ridge, cools and solidifies, continually forming a crustal plate. Hundreds to thousands of miles from the ridge the plate moves downward into the mantle at the contact with another plate and melts. The continuous process resembling a large "conveyor belt" moves the crustal plate a few centimeters each year.
Why do rocks and crustal plates move?
beacause it is moving
