Perhaps the planet "Terra" otherwise known as "Earth".
Earth has a semi-fluid mantle with plates that float on top, causing plate tectonics and the movement of continents.
There are around 15 minor tectonic plates in the Earth's crust, in addition to the major plates. These minor plates contribute to the overall movement and interaction of Earth's tectonic plates.

Earth is the planet that has drifting continents and active volcanoes. The movement of the Earth's tectonic plates causes continents to drift over time, leading to the formation of features like mountain ranges and ocean basins. Active volcanoes are also found on Earth due to the movement of tectonic plates creating zones of volcanic activity.
A tectonic planet is a planet with a surface that is composed of moving plates. These plates interact with each other, leading to processes like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the creation of mountains. Earth is an example of a tectonic planet.

There are plenty of things that are amazing about the Earth. It is the only planet with tectonic plates. The Earth is the only planet not named after a Greek God.
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 tectonic plates of the earth move and scrape against each other
Earth has a semi-fluid mantle with plates that float on top, causing plate tectonics and the movement of continents.
There are 14 crustal plates on the earth.
20 plates
there are two because if a earthquake happen it only need to two tectonic plactes
The Earth's tectonic plates are always active.
They can't. Earth would be a permanently frozen planet if it wasn't for the internal heat which causes the movement of tectonic plates. And we would never have existed.
The lithosphere is the outermost shell of a rocky planet. On Earth, it is the crust and the upper mantle of the planet, containing the tectonic plates.
