large pieces of the lithosphere that move around on the asthenosphere are called Tectonic Plates.
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.

The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.
The large pieces of the lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates vary in size and can move due to the convection currents in the underlying semi-fluid asthenosphere. Their movements are responsible for geological activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
