Answer 2

The Earth has been formed out of seven many plates.

Explanation:

The exterior shell of the planet earth is called lithosphere. There are seven major plates named; Antarctic plate, African plate, Indo-Australian plate, Pacific plate, North-American plate, Eurasian plate and South-American plate.

All these plates are subject to movement  due to intense heat in the core of the earth. This heat causes the mantle layer to actually move.
