The lithosphere.
The Earth's plates are called tectonic plates.

The earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates.
Earth's plates are made up of the rigid outer layer of the Earth's surface, known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath them, which allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
The earths crust
The Earth's lithosphere is comprised of the tectonic plates that float and move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates are made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle.
Earth's crust is divided into a series of large and small plates, known as tectonic plates. There are about 7 major plates (e.g., the Pacific Plate, North American Plate) and several minor plates that make up the Earth's crust.
The earth is not made up of only 3 plates. Some plates are the north and south American plates, the nazca plate, the pacific plate, the Australian plate, the eurasian plate, and the African plate. The plates are made from an igneous rock called basalt, and it also has some granite.
The Earth's atmosphere is made up of approximately 21% oxygen.
