That is plate tectonics. These slabs are constantly moving generating earth quakes.
Plate tectonics.

Also called the mesosphere
The very top of Earth's mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is a rigid layer that consists of both the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust above it. The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.

The mantal
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.

If it were molten, it would be called magma.

the convection currents in the mantle under the earths curst is moving the broken plates in earths lithosphere causing the plates slide across the lithosphere. this process is called tectonics. (jon lay wrote this,)
