Tectonic plates are large plates of rock that make up the foundation of the Earth's crust and the shape of the continents. The tectonic plates comprise the bottom of the crust and the top of the Earth's mantle.There are ten major plates on Earth and many more minor ones.ectonic plates are large plates of rock that make up the foundation of the Earth's crust and the shape of the continents.

The theory of plate tectonics tells us that earth's crust is broken up into plates. These plate-like sections of the earth's crust are known as tectonic plates, or lithospheric plates, and they very slowly float around on top of the hotter and more fluid asthenosphere. There are seven major tectonic plates.
