There are breaks in the Earth's crust where slabs of rock slip past each other. These places are called fault lines.
Plate tectonics.

The idea that Earth's crust and rigid upper mantle are broken into enormous slabs called plates is known as plate tectonics. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below them and interact at plate boundaries, where various geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.
tectonic plates!
The crust of the Earth is made of Igneous, Metamorphic_rocks, and Sedimentary_rockrocks. The Oceanic_crustof the sheet is different from its Continental_crust.theoceanic crust is made of Basalt, Diabase, and Gabbro,while the continental crust is made of Graniteand oter dense rocks, also they are not slabs unless if you mean rocks that were in a fault a fault: is a fracture in the Earth's crust where one side moves with respect to the other side. OK is that enough info!
The slab of the Earth's crust that regularly moves away from or collides with other slabs is called a tectonic plate. These plates make up the Earth's lithosphere and their movement is responsible for processes such as earthquakes and mountain formation.

Crust
Yes! Amazing isn't it! Mountains are formed by slow but gigantic movements of the earths crust. The Earth's crust is made up of 6 huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. When to slabs of the earth's crust smash into each other the land can be pushed upwards, forming mountains. Many of the greatest mountain ranges of the world have formed because of enormous collisions between continents.

the earth's crust is made up of 7 rigid,irregularly shaped plates(slabs). these are called lithospheric plates. these plates move because of the molten magma under the earth's crust which move in a circular motion that's why the earth's crust moves and earthquakes occurs

Formed as large slabs of rock sink and slide down into gaps in the crust
Different mountains tights are formed when two slabs of the earth's crust smash into each other the land can be pushed upwards
