The layer of Earth that is broken into large pieces that fit together is called the **lithosphere**. The lithosphere includes the Earth's crust and the upper portion of the mantle. These large pieces, known as tectonic plates, float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them, allowing for their movement and interactions, which can cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
