Tectonic plates are responsible for many familiar geological structures, such as mountains and volcanoes as. Tectonic plates are pieces of Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere.The plates are around 100 km (62 mi) thick and consist of two principal types of material: oceanic crust (also called sima from silicon and magnesium) and continental crust (sial from silicon and aluminium).

This skin, some 10 to 100 km in thickness, consists of a dozen major lithospheric plates (map below - left) and many more smaller micro plates moving in a variety of directions and at different velocities with respect to each other and in reference to the more or less stationary deep.
