describe how the lithosphere moves
The lithosphere is divided into huge slabs called tectonic plates. The heat from the mantle makes the rocks at the bottom of lithosphere slightly soft. This causes the plates to move. The movement of these plates is known as plate tectonics.
what is a plate boundary

what are the three main plate boundaries
Convergent boundaries: where two plates are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust. ...
Divergent boundaries – where two plates are moving apart. ...
Transform boundaries – where plates slide passed each other.
