Why do the plates move?
because of convection currents in the mantle
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
Why do the plates of the lithosohere move?
Because of the convection currents in the mantel.
How is the rock cycle related to the movement to earths plates?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
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.
Do scientists think plates are moved by convection currents or volcanoes?
convection currents.
Why do you have tectonic plates?
Convection currents.
Scientists think plates are moved by?
volcanos and earthquakes
What kind of currents drive earths 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.
Do convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
How are convection currents astenosphere and lithospheric plates related?
lithosphereic plates are the cooler plates. they help everyone with their convection.
