Answer:
The earth's crust consists of several large and some small, rigid irregularly shaped plates which carry the continents and the ocean floor. These are called lithospheric plates. These plates move around very slowly -just a few millimeters each year, because of the movement of the molten magma inside the earth. This magma moves in a circular manner. The movement of the plates causes changes on the surface of the earth.
