A version of convection currents, occurring in the mantle, is thought to be the force behind plate tectonics.
true
from plate tectonics
That is the current theory of plate tectonics.

Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics describes the motion of the Earth's lithosphere which brings about continental drift due to convection currents.
Because convection currents is the heating rising cooling process and if the crust and part of the upper mantle wasn't divided into sections the heated material couldn't rise up. ="overflow:hidden;background-color:transparent;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;border:mediumnone">
Convection currents can be found in the mantle layer of Earth, specifically in the asthenosphere. These currents are responsible for driving tectonic plate movements and are a key component of the process of plate tectonics.
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.
