Technically they are referred to as tectonic plates, between the 7 major tectonic plates they cover most of the earth's surface except for where a few smaller ones exist. Because they cover such a large area the borders of each plate won't correspond to any specific counrty or reference point that can easily be referred to as a particular plates location. Extremely generalised locations are stated below for the 7 largest techtonic plates.
1. Pacific Plate - covers the majority of the Pacific Ocean
2. Antarctic Plate - covers Antarctica and much of the far Southern Ocean area
3. Indo-Australian Plate - stretches through Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and on to the Canary Islands
4. Eurasian Plate - covers all of Europe and most of Asia except the Philippines
5. African Plate - covers Africa and much of the surrounding ocean
6. North America plate - Covers North America and Arctic regions
7. South America Plate - covers South America and a large portion of the southern Atlantic Ocean
There are eight smaller plates that are still larger than most countries.
The lithosphere (a combination of the crust and the uppermost brittle layer of the mantle) is divided into tectonic plates, including the seven major tectonic plates.
lithosphere
There are 7 major tectonic plates: African, Antarctic, Eurasian, North American, Pacific, South American, and Indo-Australian 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 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.
Seven crustal plates refer to the seven major tectonic plates that make up the Earth's lithosphere. These plates are large pieces of the Earth's crust that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement and interactions of these plates lead to geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.

seven main plates and about 13 smaller ones
There are fourteen crustal plates. They all move at different speeds and in different directions.There are three types of plate boundaries; Divergent, Convergent Bounderies, and and transform faults.
Don't understand the question. If you want images of the subject, google it.
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
The seven crustal plates are African Plate, Antarctic Plate, Australian Plate, Eurasian Plate, North American Plate, South American Plate, and Pacific Plate.

There are 7 major tectonic plates: African, Antarctic, Eurasian, North American, Pacific, South American, and Indo-Australian plates.
The lithosphere is the mechanical layer on Earth that contains the seven major plates. It consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle and is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
