What is lithospheric plates?

Lithospheric plates are large, rigid pieces of Earth's outermost layer, the lithosphere. These plates include both the continental crust and the outermost part of the mantle and float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement and interactions of these plates are responsible for many geologic processes, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
