the Antarctic, Eurasian, and North American plates.
Explanation:
Plates are on average 125km thick, reaching maximum thickness below mountain ranges. Oceanic plates (50-100km) are thinner than the continental plates (up to 200km) and even thinner at the ocean ridges where the temperatures are higher.
What are the large and small tectonic plates?
There are major, minor and micro tectonic plates. There are seven major plates: African, Antarctic, Eurasian, Indo-Australian, North American, Pacific and South American. The Hawaiian Islands were created by the Pacific Plate, which is the world's largest plate at 39,768,522 square miles
The Pacific Plate is by far the largest tectonic plate on Earth, and its APM relative to the underlying mantle is predominantly determined by negative buoyancy forces related to subduction (e.g., Chapple and Tullis, 1977; Conrad and Lithgow-Bertelloni, 2002; Forsyth and Uyeda, 1975; Hager and O'Connell, 1981
