The lithosphere is broken into about 100 separate sections called tectonic or crustal plates. They are divided by faults which are very much like cracks between plates. These plates float on top of the asthenosphere. A rift valley is a deep valley that forms where two plates move apart.
The lithosphere is broken into separate sections called plates. The geological theory that states that pieces of Earth's lithosphere are in constant, slow motion, driven by convection currents in the mantle is plate tectonics.
The lithosphere is made up of the "upper mantle" and earth's crust.
The lithosphere is broken into separate sections called plate tectonics or tectonic plates.
giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces.

Tectonic platea.
tectonic plate
It is broken into tectonic plates. Two types are the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.
tectonic plates
That would be the lithosphere. This is broken into sections known as lithospheric (or tectonic) plates.
Tectonic plates
It is called plates.

Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.
