Plate tectonics
The theory that describes large-scale movements of Earth's lithosphere is called plate tectonics. This theory explains how the Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that move and interact with one another, causing phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.

large pieces of the lithosphere that move around on the asthenosphere are called Tectonic Plates.
The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.
lithosphere
The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.
The large pieces of the lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates vary in size and can move due to the convection currents in the underlying semi-fluid asthenosphere. Their movements are responsible for geological activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
