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

How many minor tectonic plates are there on Earth?
There are around 15-20 minor tectonic plates on Earth, in addition to the major plates that comprise the Earth's lithosphere. These minor plates are smaller in size compared to the major plates and play a role in the movement and dynamics of tectonic activity.
How do you put tectonic plates in a sentence?
