What is the tern for the slow movement of the earth's outer layer?

The term for the slow movement of the Earth's outer layer is "plate tectonics." This describes the process by which the Earth's lithosphere is broken into large plates that move and interact at the Earth's surface.

Why do the Earths plates move?

The Earth's plates move due to forces associated with the mantle convection process. Heat from the Earth's core causes the mantle to circulate, creating movements that push and pull on the tectonic plates above. This leads to the slow but constant motion of the Earth's lithosphere.

True or false question the speed of earth's plates is very slow?

True. Earth's tectonic plates move at speeds of a few centimeters per year, which is considered slow in geological terms. This movement is driven by processes such as the heat generated by the Earth's core.
