Earth's plates are made up of the rigid outer layer of the Earth's surface, known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath them, which allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
Lithospheric plates.
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.
Plates beneath the Earth's crust are located in the upper part of the mantle, known as the lithosphere. These plates are constantly moving and interacting with each other, causing geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.
parts of the crust and upper mantle
No, it is made up of many different plates that are always shifting, thus creating earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes. Hope this helped!

Lithospheric plates.
The earths crust
Continental plates.
Tectonic Plates float on top of the earths mantle, the earths mantle is made up liquid which is always circulating.
The earth is made up of multiple tectonic plates. These plates are propelled by convection in the mantle layer below the crust (lithosphere)
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.
The asthenosphere has the ability to slow down seismic waves. Is not made up of earths plates that would be the lithosphere.
