The rock of the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere is plastic-like but not molten. It acts like a conveyor belt, moving heat from Earth's interior upward, and cooled material downward in a big loop. New crust is created where mantle material reaches the surface at places called mid-ocean ridges. Older, colder oceanic crust is subducted and drawn into the mantle, completing the loop.
The heat in the Earth's mantle rises and in return it forces the plates to move which is why the Earth's plates move.
Think of a pot of boiling stew, the chunks move as the liquid boils.
A convection current causes magma to rise at the midocean ridge and pushes the plates apart.
convection currents.
Because of the convection currents in the mantel.
They move tectonic plates
The lithosphere is the continental crust, oceanic crust and upper part of the mantle. The convection currents move in the mantle mostly in the Asthenosphere layer under the lithosphere. As the convention currents move it makes the lithosphere spread and shake.
Convection currents in the mantle drag the plates like a conveyor belt.
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates
Yes!

No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
lithosphereic plates are the cooler plates. they help everyone with their convection.
