Does magnetism make the tectonic plates move?
No(see the explanation of the question "Why do the tectonic plates move?"
How many tectonic plates do we have?

What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?

What type of tectonic plates make a volcano?
pacific and atlantic plates
What layer do tectonic plates make up?
The lithosphere.
What are the plates called that make up the Earth's crust?
The plates that make up the Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere underneath and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing various geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?

Who named the tectonic plates tectonic and why?
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
Tectonic plates can include?
Oceanic plates, continental plates, and microplates are all examples of tectonic plates that make up the Earth's lithosphere. These plates move around due to the heat-driven convection currents in the Earth's mantle, causing phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain-building.
