The Earths interior overview
... The earth's interior is neither all solid nor is it all molten. There are layers with a different density, thickness and composition. Furthermore the earth's crust is not one continuous layer. It is broken into many sections known as plates. Some plates are quite small while others are quite large. ...

Tectonic–climatic interaction
Tectonic–climatic interaction is the interrelationship between tectonic processes and the climate system. The tectonic processes in question include orogenesis, volcanism, and erosion, while relevant climatic processes include atmospheric circulation, orographic lift, monsoon circulation and the rain shadow effect. As the geological record of past climate changes over millions of years is sparse and poorly resolved, many questions remain unresolved regarding the nature of tectonic-climate interaction, although it is an area of active research by geologists and palaeoclimatologists.
