oceanic plates (plates of land that is submerged) and continental plates (the land masses above the surface of the ocean)
it's a lithosphere
The Earth's crust is broken up into several lithospheric or tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving atop the Earth's mantle (semi-solid layer of molten rocks). Based upon their motion, tectonic plates are referred to as converging or diverging. Converging tectonic plates move towards each other and form convergent boundary. Diverging tectonic plates move away from each other and form divergent boundary.

The crust
The Earths upper layer which consists of the Crust and Upper Mantle makes up the Tectonic Plates. This layer is called the Lithosphere.
