These are arbitrary names for parcels of land, and the names of the items and their legality will depend upon the jurisdiction.
2nd Answer:
Townships are 6-mile by 6-mile 'squares' of land that are used to divide land into legally-describable portions. Most land west of the Mississippi River is divided by Townships, but east of the Mississippi, the use of Townships is spotty and variable.
The 36 Sections within a Township measure 1 mile square, more or less, and are numbered boustrephedonically - that is, 1 through 6, right to left, 7 through 12 left to right, 13 through 18 right to left, and so on.
Townships are located by Range, that is, the number of Townships from some arbitrary and widely accepted starting monument east or west. Townships are also numbered by Tiers to the north or south. Tiers are often mistakenly called townships, too, but you can see the confusion that could result. As an example, a particular Section where I work is Section 33, Tier 15 North, Range 45 East from Willamette Meridian.
Each Section is further divided by quarter sections, government lots, and tracts.
The large sections of the lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates
The Sections of the Earth are the Crust, Mantle, and Core or Inner Core and Outer Core.
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
Lithosphere, Astenosphere, Mesosphere
upper mantle and the lower mantle
The township survey system is a way of mapping land. Townships are divided into sections that are 36 square miles in size, and these sections are further subdivided.

The Land Ordinance of 1785.
Because townships are political/geographical units, the population varies widely.
Land was to be systematically surveyed into square townships, six miles (9.656 km) on a side. Each of these townships were sub-divided into thirty-six sections of one square mile (2.59 km²) or 640 acres.
Townships.
The Northwest territory was divided into uniform townships and sections. The Northwest territory lasted from 1787 to 1803 when it was then admitted into the US.

there are ten townships.
Since Oklahoma's area covers 68,667 square miles, there would be roughly that many sections. One section equals one square mile according to the public land survey system of the US.
There is 92 counties and in those is 1008 townships
