Question

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

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

No, tectonic plates do not cover the entire Earth. Tectonic plates are large sections of the Earth's crust and upper mantle that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. These plates are constantly moving, colliding, and shifting, causing earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains. There are several major tectonic plates, including the Pacific Plate, North American Plate, Eurasian Plate, African Plate, and Antarctic Plate, among others. Collectively, these plates cover the majority of the Earth's surface, but not the entire planet.
