parts of the crust and upper mantle
A dense igneous rock called basalt forms the plates under the oceans,
and granite under the continents.
Plate Tectonics.
Tectonic plates may be made of continental crust, oceanic crust, or both.
Lithospheric plates.
The Earth's crust is made of plates which float on the Earth's mantle. They are located on the entire planetary surface. Even oceans lie on top of plates.

Techtonic plates
Lithospheric plates.
Tectonic Plates float on top of the earths mantle, the earths mantle is made up liquid which is always circulating.
The Earth's crust is made of plates which float on the Earth's mantle. They are located on the entire planetary surface. Even oceans lie on top of plates.
The earth is made up of multiple tectonic plates. These plates are propelled by convection in the mantle layer below the crust (lithosphere)
