What else can I help you with?
Is the surface of venus made up of many plates?
No, Venus does not have plate tectonics like Earth. Instead, it has a single solid outer shell that is continually resurfaced by volcanic activity. This lack of plate movement is one reason why Venus lacks the tectonic activity seen on Earth.
Does Venus have any cracks?
Venus does not have tectonic plates like Earth, so it does not have crustal plates that can move and create cracks or faults like we have on Earth. However, Venus does have many volcanoes, volcanic plains, and other volcanic features that can form due to internal processes and not necessarily due to tectonic activity.
How many crustal plates does Venus have?
There is local tectonic activity but the surface appears to be a single crustal plate, with little large-scale horizontal motion of plates as found on the Earth.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
How many tectonic plates do we have?
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
Does Venus have a mantel?
Venus does have a mantel. Forces within the mantle are the causes of deformations on the planet as opposed to the tectonic plates on Earth.

Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
Can tectonic plates known as crustle plates?
Yes, tectonic plates are also known as crustal plates.
Who named the tectonic plates tectonic and why?
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
How many tectonic plates do we have?

What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
Are the tectonic plates in the earths inner core?
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
