The active earth's core continually recycles itself through subduction zones located around certain parts of the planet. The subduction zones are where one tectonic plate is being forced under another, thereby recycling the old crust. New crust is made at rift zones where magma is forced to the surface, cools and then becomes part of our visible (or underwater) earth surface.
