The heat in the earth's mantle rises and in return forces the plates to move.
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.

They move towards each other.
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
They are the means by which plates of the lithoshpere move.

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.
