Eurasian Plate
Indo-Australian Plate
North American Plate
Pacific Plate
South American Plate
There are also seven Secondary plates, as follows:
Arabian Plate
Caribbean Plate
Cocos Plate
Juan de Fuca Plate

In addition, there are over 50 Tertiary plates.
What else can I help you with?
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.
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below and interact with one another at plate boundaries, where most earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
What are the plates called of a divergent plate boundary?
tectonic plates. just because they are convergent doesnt change the fact that they are tectonic..
What are the different pieces of the Earth's crust called?
Along with their attached rigid uppermost mantle, they are referred to as tectonic plates.
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.
What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
What are the plates called that make earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
What is it called when plates diverge on land?
tectonic plates
Tectonic plates float on a layer of the earth called the?
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below and interact with one another at plate boundaries, where most earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.
What are underground plates called?
Underground plates are called tectonic plates. These plates are large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, causing phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?

What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
What are plates called that are divergent plate boundaries?
Diverging tectonic plates.
What kind of plates are made up of the earth?
The Earth's plates are called tectonic plates.
What are the plates called of a divergent plate boundary?
tectonic plates. just because they are convergent doesnt change the fact that they are tectonic..
