Plate tectonics are a result of the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which is broken into large tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. The theory of plate tectonics explains how these plates interact and move over time due to processes like seafloor spreading, subduction, and mantle convection. This theory was developed through a combination of geological observations, geophysical studies, and technological advancements in the 20th century.

No, it is not an oceanic plate. It is a continental plate but with oceanic crust. Crust is different from plate. A plate is made up of many crust. The crust under the ocean is oceanic crust, while the crust where continent is found is called continental crust. Most of the plates are made up off both continental and oceanic crust. If a plate has continental crusts, then it is a continental plate. Only if a plate is all made up of oceanic crusts, meaning that there is no land on it, then the plate is called oceanic plate. In the world, the major oceanic plates include Pacific Plate, Nazca Plate, Cocos Plate and Philippines Plate. Other are all continental plate.
