Question

State how many and which are the tectonic plates.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Plate tectonics is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3.3 and 3.5 billion years ago.

The Earth is made up of roughly a dozen major plates and several minor plates. The Earth is in a constant state of change. Earth's crust, called the lithosphere, consists of 15 to 20 moving tectonic plates.
