dirt and rigid rocks
The Earth's tectonic plates are made up of the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The crust is primarily composed of solid rock made up of elements such as oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and iron.
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
i don't think there is an particular name for it
Of the Earth's major plates, the following are composed of a majority of oceanic crust: Pacific, North American, African, Antarctic, Australian, and South American.
Yes, tectonic plates are composed of the Earth's crust and part of the upper mantle. The movement of these plates is responsible for various geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.

earths crust
Yes, the Earth's crust is composed of several layers of rock known as tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-liquid mantle beneath them and interact with each other through processes like subduction and spreading, which drive geological activities such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.

No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.

the movement of earths plates or crust
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
