Answer:

Tectonic plates

Step-by-step explanation:

Tectonic plates are large plates that moves. There are different types of plate motion as a result of mantle convection.

  • A tectonic plate is better as referred to as the lithospheric plate.
  • It is made up of a part of the upper mantle and the overlying crust.
  • Together, they move over the fluid asthenosphere below.
  • The mantle below drives the lithosphere above.
