The Earth’s crust is divided into 12 major plates which are moved in various directions.
This plate motion causes them to collide, pull apart, or scrape against each other.
Each type of interaction causes a characteristic set of Earth structures or “tectonic” features.
The word, tectonic, refers to the deformation of the crust as a consequence of plate interaction. TECTONIC PLATES

What are tectonic plates made of? Plates are made of rigid lithosphere.

The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. TECTONIC PLATES

Below the lithosphere (which makes up the tectonic plates) is the asthenosphere. TECTONIC PLATES What lies beneath the lithosphere?

Convection Currents - “Plates” of lithosphere are moved around by the underlying hot mantle convection cells. TECTONIC PLATES PLATE MOVEMENT

TECTONIC PLATES PLATE MOVEMENT SPI 0707.7.5 Recognize that lithospheric plates continually move at rates of centimeters per year.
