Mainly solid, but behaves like a fluid. Continental crust is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust. Mantle is slowly flowing in convection cycle. Hotter mantle near core rises, cools down and sinks back towards the core and repeats this cycle. Plates move in different directions and speeds. Processes operating at the plate margins result in the creation, deformation or destruction of crust. When oceanic or continental plates move in the same direction, reason why formations occur is their variations in speed. There are three kinds of plate boundaries:
