4. if the earth's core provides the heat that drives plate tectonics, then what will eventually happen as the earth's core cools down over billions of years?

If the earths core cools down everything will become solid. When this happens it will become very difficult for us to live in earth. The earths core is slowly cooling down but this shouldn’t happen until several billion years.
