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.
Tectonic plates are segments of the Earth's lithosphere, the hard  rocky outer shell composed of the crust and the uppermost mantle.  This shell is divided by lines of faultâ¦s, ridges of plate creation,  and zones of plate destruction.
