The lithosphere (a combination of the crust and the uppermost brittle layer of the mantle) is divided into tectonic plates, including the seven major tectonic plates.
The Lithosphere contains the tectonic plates. :)
The layer that the tectonic plates are located is the Upper Mantle and it is liquid.
tectonic plates
The plates are part of the crust, the upper layer of the Earth. The plates are moved by currents in the upper mantle. The plates and flexible upper mantle are referred to collectively as the lithosphere and sit atop the mantle layer called the aesthenosphere.
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.

The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.

The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
Tectonic Platesplates
Tectonic plates float on an underlying molten layer.
