Beneath the mantle lies the , divided into a outer core and a inner core , both composed mostly of iron and . 5 The theory of plate states that the lithosphere is into large and small called tectonic plates , which move slowly over the asthenosphere , driven mainly by in the mantle ? the same basic process by which material rises , cools , and sinks , similar to currents in a pot of slowly simmering water . Major plates relevant to the Philippines include the Plate , the Philippine Sea Plate , and the Pacific , along with smaller crustal blocks and microplates in and around the Philippine itself , which lies in a complex zone where several of these plates interact .
