Some of the major tectonic plates include the Pacific Plate (located under the Pacific Ocean), the North American Plate (covering North America), the Eurasian Plate (encompassing Europe and Asia), the African Plate (spanning Africa), and the Antarctic Plate (underneath Antarctica).
Some kind of map :)

Is the crust made of tectonic plates?
Yes, it is made of tectonic plates and those plates have names e.g. Indo Australian plate, Eurasion plate
What places where tectonic plates separate is called?
Places where tectonic plates separate are known as divergent boundaries. At these boundary locations, magma rises from the mantle, forming new crust as the plates move apart.
What are the names of the tectonic plates that caused the haiti earthquake?
The North American and Caribbean tectonic plates caused the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The movement along the boundary between these two plates resulted in the devastating earthquake.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Where is the biggest visible tectonic plates?
The largest tectonic plate is the Pacific Plate, which covers the Pacific Ocean. It is visible in some locations where it interacts with other plates, such as along the western coast of North and South America.

What happened to rocks as fossils as the tectonic plates separated and drifted apart?
They were carried along with the plates to new locations.

What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
