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.
The crust is the outer hard layer of the Earth, and is less than 1% of Earth's volume. The crust is made up of different types of rocks; igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.Below the crust is the mantle. The upper part of the mantle is made up of Peridotite, a rock denser than rocks common in the crust.The crust and the upper mantle make up the Lithosphere. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates that can move.he upper part of the mantle is made up of Peridotite, a rock denser than rocks common in the crust.
