um............no sorry their called EARTHQUAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The large pieces of Earth's crust that move over the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates are responsible for the movement of continents and the occurrence of geological events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The large landmasses on Earth's crust are called continents. These are the major divisions of land on our planet.

Thinning in the Earth's crust can be caused by processes such as rifting, volcanic activity, and tectonic plate movement. These processes can result in the stretching and pulling apart of the crust, leading to thinning in certain areas.
This phenomenon is called tectonic plate movement. It occurs when large segments of the Earth's crust, known as tectonic plates, slowly shift and move over time. These movements can result in various geological events such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
Large segments of the crust and upper mantle known as the Lithospheric plates.

Plate tectonics, the movement of the large pieces of the earth's crust, give rise to great stress along the boundaries of the plates. Wikipedia has a post on plate tectonics, and a link is provided.
