Answer:

asthenosphere

Lithospheric plates move on top of the asthenosphere (the outer plastically deforming region of Earth's mantle). The term "plate" is deceptive. Remembering that Earth is an oblate sphere, lithospheric plates are not flat, but curved and fractured into curved sections akin to the peeled sections of an orange.
