Tectonic Plates are part of the crust, and floats on the semi-molten rock magma layer.
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
The outer crust.
Continents and tectonic plates are sliding on the asthenosphere, which is a ductile layer of the Earth's mantle below the lithosphere. The asthenosphere allows for the movement of tectonic plates due to its semi-fluid properties.

The plates on the top of the upper mantle are referred to as the lithosphere, which slides on the asthenosphere.well the mantle causes the continents to move on the ocean floor and sand it makes it slideyea know the crustti is i dont ge ehttt
The continents of the Earth are sliding through the asthenosphere. This is the viscous part of the mantle on which the plates of the lithosphere sit.

CRUST I JUST LEARNED THAT IT'S CRUST (I think )
"plates" are the term for the giant sheets of rock on the earths crust
