While the exact number can vary depending on how smaller micro-plates are categorized, many scientific texts and popular science authors, including Simon Winchester, often cite approximately 15 major tectonic plates that are responsible for the majority of global seismic and volcanic activity. This classification provides a simplified model for understanding plate tectonics.
