There are seven primary plates, seven secondary plates and around 65 smaller, tertiary plates.
The primary plates are the African, Antarctic, Eurasian, Indo-Australian, North American, Pacific, and South American plates.
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 made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
The Earth is made up of 7 major tectonic plates, which include the Pacific Plate, African Plate, Eurasian Plate, Australian Plate, Antarctic Plate, North American Plate, and South American Plate.
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
There are about 15 major tectonic plates that make up the Earth's surface. These plates are constantly moving and interacting with each other, leading to geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

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.
When I first saw you, I was certain that the tectonic plates had just shifted. The Earth's lithosphere is made up of seven or eight major, and many minor tectonic plates.
Tectonic or lithospheric plates.
There are seven tectonic plates that are primarily made up of oceanic crust: the Pacific Plate, Nazca Plate, Cocos Plate, Juan de Fuca Plate, Philippine Sea Plate, Arabian Plate, and the Scotia Plate. These plates are generally located in the ocean basins and are involved in the movement and interactions of Earth's tectonic plates.
There are around 15-20 minor tectonic plates on Earth, in addition to the major plates that comprise the Earth's lithosphere. These minor plates are smaller in size compared to the major plates and play a role in the movement and dynamics of tectonic activity.
No, it is made of rock but it is made up of many plates that move around the place cause earthquakes. The crust is rock but it is not solid all the way around. The plates are called tectonic plates and if you search "tectonic plates of the world" it should tell you where they are and what they are made up of.

it 9 becuse 9 is the hightst number
