It changes because when the 2 tectonic plates collide they form mountains and volcanoes. Also with Alfred Weigners hypothesis the continents are always moving
Continental drift and subduction zones the tectonic plates along the earth. continental drift causes tectonic plates to either "pull apart" or "crash" into each other. plates that crash into each other either form mountains, or when one slides under the other (a subduction zone) volcanoes from. *see "Volcanoes" for further explanation)
Tectonic plates are the moving pieces under the Earth's surface that form the Earth's crust. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other through processes like subduction, spreading, and collision, which contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface features.
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.

The crust
its the earths crust
earths crust
a volcano is a rupture or opening in the earths crust. caused by convergent (coming together) or divergent (moving apart) plates
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
