  • The entire surface of the Earth has tectonic plates. ...
  • The tectonic plates are present because when the earth cooled down from the molten stage of its formation then it did not cooled down at a uniform rate and hence it led to the formation of plate tectonics
  • Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core.
  • The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere, which is 100 km (60 miles) thick, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.
  • The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle.
  • Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, which is malleable or partially malleable, allowing the lithosphere to move around.
  • How it moves around is an evolving idea

Explanation:

the entire surface of the earth has tectonic plates because the tectonic plates are present because when the Earth cool down from the molten status of its formation than it did not hold down at a uniform rate and hence it leads to the formation of plate tectonic
