The Earth has an active interior that keeps it in a state of perpetual change. In other words, below the solid crust on which we live, is molten or semi-molten rock (magma). Our continents are like rafts, floating on molten rock, and imperceptively constantly on the move. On the surface, erosion and depositing is constantly happening. Therefore, an active planet is one were changes is constantly going on.
