What is a tectonic plate? 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.
ï¼ Some plates are made up of partly oceanic and partly continental. These tectonic plates âfloatâ on top of the next layer of the Earth which is called the asthenosphere. ï It is a layer of rock found in the upper part of the mantle. ï It is unique in that it is a solid but it has the ability to flow like a liquid.
