There are 7 major plates and 3 minor I think =)
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.
There are 43 plates on the earth.
The earth is divided into 20 plates. There are 13 major ones. Most of these plates are made up of both a continent and an ocean.

There are 14 crustal plates on the earth.
There are 41 minor plates so good luck with that
The Earth's crust is its solid outer layer which varies from zero to about 100 kilometers thick. The crust is broken up into seven or eight major tectonic plates and many minor plates. The plates are moving at rates that vary from zero to 10 cm per year.
Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate movements under the crust of the earth. The earth is made up of many 'plates' which move around due to the earths core moving and these plates shift slightly, when the plates rub against each other that is how earthquakes / volcanoes / mountains are caused. well done on your grammar :)
