Tectonic Plates are large rock slabs that move on Earth's lithosphere, causing geological events through plate tectonics.
Tectonic Plates are massive slabs of rock that make up Earth's lithosphere, constantly moving and interacting with each other, causing geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The movement of these plates is referred to as plate tectonics, and it plays a crucial role in shaping the Earth's surface over millions of years. The Earth's lithosphere is divided into several major and minor plates that can be made up of both oceanic and continental crust.
