PPT-The lithosphere is made of the crust, Moho, and upper mantle.

The lithosphere is broken up into large sections called plates They move around very slowly The movement can cause mountains and valleys to form Earthquakes usually happen at plate boundaries called faults when the plates get caught and then jerk loose .
