Is it true that tectonic plates cover the whole of the earth

1 answer

Yes, tectonic plates do cover the whole of the Earth's surface. The Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere underneath. These plates are constantly moving and interacting with each other, which causes geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
