skapi is a material, obtained from the se skapi, so I don't think
it applies here. A calku appears to protect a softer se calku, but 
I'm not sure about that. I'd say pilka is best.

> A tectonic plate is a {plita} or {tapla} of the crust. 

I'd say {tapla} in spite of the excessive place structure.

Or {piltapla}.
