Lips. Unlike woodwind, they (or more accurately, we) change our mouths while playing. Thinning the mouth with less pressure will cause it to get high, and doing an 'oh' sound with more pressure makes a low sound. Moving the slide is only half of it; you can play probably 3 notes as a beginner in one position by moving the mouth. Later on, about 4 years in, you can do 5 notes on a single position.

What is the different slide trombone valve trombone?
A lot. Although they look similar they are played differently. The main difference is the mechanism used to create the notes/pitches. The valve trombone is basically a baritone horn in the shape of a trombone. It uses a combination of 3 valves like a trumpet to generate the different pitches by the vibration of the player's lips in the mouth piece and the combination of valves pressed down. A slide trombone uses a slide to change the wave length of the ptich combined with the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece. Notes or pitches rely upon sound waves. To change pitch you change the length of the sound wave. The valve trombone uses valves to chnages the course of the air producing the sound wave to lengthen it or shorten it. The slide trombone does this by moving the slide up or down.

That would be the trombone. The trombone has a main slide instead of valves to alter the length of tubing that the vibrating air has to travel through to change the pitch of notes. All brass instruments have tuning slides to slightly lengthen or shorten the tubing length to help tune the instrument.
