The Earth's lithosphere is divided into 16 major tectonic plates, including the African Plate, Antarctic Plate, Eurasian Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, and South American Plate. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact at their boundaries through processes like subduction, seafloor spreading, and transform faults. The movement and interactions of these plates are responsible for geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
