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.
No, plates and crustal plates are the same thing. They refer to the large, rigid sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move around on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates are made up of both oceanic and continental crust and are responsible for the movement of continents and the formation of geological features like mountains and earthquakes.
The crustal plates are in constant motion, there is no last movement
seafloor
Molten magma from the mantle rises at the top oceanic ridge, cools and solidifies, continually forming a crustal plate. Hundreds to thousands of miles from the ridge the plate moves downward into the mantle at the contact with another plate and melts. The continuous process resembling a large "conveyor belt" moves the crustal plate a few centimeters each year.
There are 14 crustal plates on the earth.
Worldwide, the mountains are the evidence of crustal plates.
seven main plates and about 13 smaller ones
