Full question:

The Earth's surface is divided up into several large, movable tectonic plates. Which of the following is true about these plates? A. The Earth has both continental and oceanic tectonic plates. B. The Earth has only oceanic tectonic plates. C. The Earth has neither continental nor oceanic tectonic plates. D. The Earth has only continental tectonic plates.

Answer:

The Earth has both continental and oceanic tectonic plates is true about these plates

Explanation:

The Earth's permeable outside husk is split into big parts called tectonic plates. They are gliding on the Earth's mantle, a thick layer of warm fluid-rock. Plate tectonics forms the oceans, continents, and mountains. Most plates are composed of both continental and oceanic crust.

The lithosphere is split up into seven very large continental- and ocean-sized plates, six or seven medium-sized regional plates, and several small ones. The method of plate tectonics may be inspired by convection in Earth’s mantle, the extraction of heavy old pieces of crust into the mantle, or some combination of both.
