Brief Explanations
The tectonic plates are part of the Earth's lithosphere. The lithosphere is the rigid, outermost shell of the Earth, and it 'floats' on the more ductile asthenosphere below. The mantle is beneath the lithosphere, the core is the innermost part of the Earth, and the asthenosphere is a semi - fluid layer on which the lithosphere moves.
