The Mantle

The lithosphere.
The plates are made up of the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. The movement of these plates is caused by the flow of the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath the lithosphere.
The lithosphere (which is composed of the crust and solid brittle upper mantle) makes up the Earth's tectonic plates.

The continents of the Earth are sliding through the asthenosphere. This is the viscous part of the mantle on which the plates of the lithosphere sit.
