What else can I help you with?
Why do the plates move?
because of convection currents in the mantle
Do plates move because of gravity?
No, plates do not move because of gravity. They move because of the convection currents in the Earth's interior. The heat rises up from the core and moves the lithospheric plates across Earth's surface. The main source is heat left over from the formation of our planet.
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plates?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
Why do you have tectonic plates?
Convection currents.
Do you have to have heat in a convection current?
Yes, because otherwise, the plates, moved by the convection currents, won't move at all.
What kind of currents drive earths plates?
Convection currents.
How are convection currents astenosphere and lithospheric plates related?
lithosphereic plates are the cooler plates. they help everyone with their convection.
Why do the plates in the lithoshpere move?
Because of Convection currents in the Mantle, as well as heat and pressure.
How do convection currents affect earth?
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates
What causes your plates to move?
convection currents!
What makes tectonic plates?
convection currents :)
