i hope it helps
Explanation:
Earth's hard surface (the lithosphere) can be thought of as a skin that rests and slides upon a semi-molten layer of rock called the asthenosphere. The skin has been broken into many different plates because of differences in the density of the rock and differences in subsurface heating between one region and the next.

Lithospheric Plates – The lithosphere is broken into a number of plates known as the Lithospheric plates. These plates move around very slowly because of the movement of the molten magma inside the earth. The molten magma inside the earth moves in a circular manner.
At divergent boundaries, lithospheric plates move apart and crust is created. At convergent boundaries, lithospheric plates move together in collision zones where crust is either destroyed by subduction or uplifted to form mountain chains .
