The answer will be The Earth's surface is split into different plates. These plates are termed Tectonic Plates.

Tectonic Plates:

  • According to several geographic evidence and other studies, it is known that originally the Earth used to be a single huge landmass.
  • This giant type of landmass, later on, split apart to form different plates called the Tectonic Plates.
  • These plates constituted the origin of different continents and water bodies. These plates are made up of the Earth's crust and its upper mantle portion.
  • Hence, these plates are also known as Lithospheric Plates.

Hence, the correct answer will be: The plates that are formed due to the splitting of the Earth's surface are called Tectonic Plates.
