Elevators. They are the movable parts of the horizontal fins on the tail. When the move upwards, the airflow pushes the tail down, which points the nose up.

Why don't tires on an airplane blow out when the airplane lands?
This is because when the plane comes down, it's gentle and slow. Think of a toy airplane. If it has wheels and slowly comes down, it won't bust if it doesn't go roughly, right (I hope)?
What is reverse thrust in a 777 landing?
When airplanes fly, the exhaust gasses from jet engines go behind the engine and push the airplane forward. When the airplanes land on the runway, the directions of the exhaust gas from the engine is changed so it pushes forward. Instead of making the plane go forward, it starts trying to make the plane go into reverse. As a result, it slows down the airplane. That slows down the airplane much faster than just using the brakes would.
How high can an airplane go?
as high as the lift from the wings is greater than the gravity pulling it down
