Explanation:

Plate tectonics on Earth, at present, consists of 12 large semirigid plates of irregular shapes and sizes that move over the surface, separated by boundaries that meet at triple junctions. There are also many broad zones of deformation. The seven major plates account for 94% of the surface area of Earth.

Answer:

When we talk about tectonic or lithospheric plates, we mean the sections into which the lithosphere is cracked. The surface of the Earth is divided into 7 major and 8 minor plates. The largest plates are the Antarctic, Eurasian, and North American plates.
