No. The layers of Earth are portions of the planet that are position one on top of another, somewhat like the layers of an onion. The plates are sections are sections of the uppermost layers that break up the surface of the planet.
The earth's upper crust
The lithosphere.
The Asthensphere.
The layers of the Earth, such as the lithosphere and asthenosphere, are directly related to the movement of tectonic plates. The lithosphere, which comprises the rigid outer part of the Earth, is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement and interaction of these plates is what drives processes like plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
Tectonic plates
The Earth's plates are composed of the lithosphere, which includes the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust. The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. Movement of these plates is responsible for processes like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
The outer layers, the continental and oceanic crust.
