* The Earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates. Think of it like a giant puzzle where each piece is a tectonic plate.

* These plates are not stationary. They are constantly moving, very slowly, over the Earth's mantle (the layer beneath the crust). This movement causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and the formation of mountains.

So, the answer is yes, the Earth's crust is made out of tectonic plates.
