Answer:

hope this helps you if yes then mark me as brainliest

Explanation:The crust (upper part) of the earth has been formed out of seven major and some

minor plates. These are called tectonic plates.

A Tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid

rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary

greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic

Plates are among the largest. Plate thickness also varies greatly, ranging from less than 15

km for young oceanic lithosphere to about 200 km or more for ancient continental

lithosphere.
