The earths surface is made of plates. Basically these land masses are like big icebergs floating at sea. It is just these land masses are on a sea of molten rock. There is multiple plates that include Philippine Sea Plate, North American Plate, Eurasian Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, Nazca Plate and the Pacific Plate. Because the earths core releases gases that rise to the surface it will cause the plates to fall and the allows the gases to escape. If there were not plates or gaps in the surface that allowed the gases out the earths core would be like a pressure cooker and eventually explode.
