There is a great deal of controversy over the exact number of plates in the lithosphere, commonly known as the "crust." However, a generally accepted figure places the number of plates at 15. namely :
- pacific plate
- north American plate
- south American plate
- antarctic plate
- African plate
- Eurasian plate
- Indian plate
- Australian plate
- Juan De Fuca plate
- cocos plate
- Nazca plate
- Caribbean plate
- Philippine plate
- Arabian plate
- Anatolian plate

tectonic plates?
major and minor blocks in the lithosphere
How many lithosphere plates are there?
There are 15 :P XD <3 jk idk idc lol wth ?? There are 15 lithosphere plates i think but i forreal dont kno :P XD
How do you put tectonic plates in a sentence?
When I first saw you, I was certain that the tectonic plates had just shifted. The Earth's lithosphere is made up of seven or eight major, and many minor tectonic plates.
What kinds of tectonic plates are there?
There are two kinds of plates- continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere. There are many types of plate boundaries, like convergent, divergent, transform, and more. Continental lithosphere is granite and oceanic is basalt.
What are pieces of lithosphere?
Pieces of the lithosphere are known as plates.
