lithosphere and crust
The lithosphere contains the tectonic plates. The lithosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's structure and it is divided into several large and small plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
The Earth's crust is divided into several large tectonic plates, with around 7 major plates and several smaller ones. These plates float on the semi-fluid upper mantle and interact at their boundaries, where most of the Earth's seismic activity occurs.
The layers of gases that surround Earth are called the atmosphere. The atmosphere is divided into several layers based on temperature and composition, with the troposphere being the layer closest to Earth's surface.
Earth's rigid outer layers are broken up into tectonic plates, which float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates move relative to each other, causing phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain-building.
Earth's crust is divided into a series of large and small plates, known as tectonic plates. There are about 7 major plates (e.g., the Pacific Plate, North American Plate) and several minor plates that make up the Earth's crust.

The lithosphere (a combination of the crust and the uppermost brittle layer of the mantle) is divided into tectonic plates, including the seven major tectonic plates.

No. The layers of Earth are portions of the planet that are position one on top of another, somewhat like the layers of an onion. The plates are sections are sections of the uppermost layers that break up the surface of the planet.

The lithosphere.
The Asthensphere.
The layers of the Earth, such as the lithosphere and asthenosphere, are directly related to the movement of tectonic plates. The lithosphere, which comprises the rigid outer part of the Earth, is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement and interaction of these plates is what drives processes like plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
