Pieces of Earth's crust that are floating on the mantle are known as tectonic plates. These plates are rigid sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, leading to phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Tectonic plates are the moving pieces under the Earth's surface that form the Earth's crust. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other through processes like subduction, spreading, and collision, which contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface features.
Tectonic plates are located within the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. These plates float on top of the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement of these plates is responsible for various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
The large mass of Earth's crust floating on magma is known as tectonic plates. These plates are rigid segments of the lithosphere that rest atop the semi-fluid asthenosphere, which is composed of partially molten rock. The movement of these tectonic plates is driven by convection currents in the mantle, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle.
The continental plates float on asthenosphere, molten rock (lava).
Pieces of Earth's crust that are floating on the mantle are known as tectonic plates. These plates are rigid sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, leading to phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
The crust, on which we live on, is like islands of tectonic plates that are floating on the semi-molten magma.

Tectonic Plates are sections of the Earth's crust that are actually floating on the surface of the semi-molten Magma.
They are floating on the outer core
Plate tectonics, which studies the large rock plates floating on Earth's mantle, is an interesting field of study.
