Huge slabs of rock rise and sink due to movement in the Earth's tectonic plates. When plates collide, one may be forced below the other, leading to subduction and sinking. Conversely, when plates separate, magma rises to create new crust, causing rock to rise.
The Earth's lithosphere consists of tectonic plates made up of huge slabs of rock that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere of the upper mantle. These plates move around, interacting at their boundaries, resulting in geological phenomena like earthquakes and mountain formation.
The lithosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth that is made up of large slabs of rock called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle beneath them. Movements and interactions between these plates are responsible for phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.

The minerals formed in narrow channels or slabs of rock are called vein minerals. These minerals are deposited within the fractures of the rock, often in a crystalline form. They can include a variety of minerals such as quartz, calcite, and sulfides.

An earthquake . . . the tectonic plates are slabs of rock and when thy shift, it creates an earthquake.

The likely word is the term quarry (place where slabs are chiseled out of rock).

Becuase the rock takes up space and has volume, it pushes the water out of the way.
