Tectonic Plates! :D APEX~

∙ 14y agoThey are Tectonic plates, there are five main ones and are either part of the continental or oceanic crust.
The are moved by convection currents in the outer mantle (asthenosphere)which is molten rock = magma.

What is a change in the volume or shape of earths crust?
Deformation
What is the geological theory that states that pieces of earths crust are in constant slow motion is?
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics. The geological theory is called plate tectonics.

Why is the earth's crust in constant motion?
Convection currents of heat underneath the earth's crust in the mantle (magma) cause the tectonic plates of the earth's crust to move.
