What is changes back and forth?

What is the lithosphere?

What are:
- radioactive decay of unstable isotopes
and
-heat from Earth's core left over from when the planet formed?
This is where the Earth's crust is thickest.
What is a mountain range?
According to the theory of plate tectonics, ths is what drives the movement of Earth's plates.
What is convection within the mantle?
These are all the ways tectonic plates can move.
What are vertically, horizontally, toward each other, alongside each other, away from each other.
Rock beneath the lithosphere (in the Asthenosphere and the Core is this/these state(s) of matter.
What are solid and liquid (plastic like solid in the asthenosphere)?
This varies from 1-16 cm. per year.
What is the rate at which tectonic plates move?
These are possible effects of plate tectonics.
What are earthquakes, islands, mountains, tsunamis, and volcanoes.
