There are 15 total, with nine being considered major tectonic plates.
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
Plate tectonics.
Tectonic plates are the moving pieces under the Earth's surface that form the Earth's crust. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other through processes like subduction, spreading, and collision, which contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface features.

Tectonic plates are the rigid but moving pieces of Earth's surface that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates interact at plate boundaries, leading to various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.

The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.
