How many major and minor plates are there in the crust?
The Earth's lithosphere is divided into several tectonic plates, which include seven major plates and numerous minor plates. The major plates are the Pacific, North American, Eurasian, African, South American, Antarctic, and Indo-Australian plates. Minor plates, such as the Nazca, Cocos, and Caribbean plates, vary in number, but there are generally around a dozen recognized minor plates. Overall, the exact count of minor plates can fluctuate based on classifications and geological activity.
