Simple back on subject,

The reason the world isn't a big ball of fire is because it's not.The world is made of crust and rock.There is a very thick layer of rock surrounding the mantal.Now, when there is a crack magma seeks through.Thats about it oh the earth gained such intense heat from the pressure of the plate boundaries I believe.

I think what I just said is wrong.
