How do plates move where convection currents are risig?
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.
Why do the plates of the lithosohere move?
Because of the convection currents in the mantel.
What do convection currents do over time?
They move tectonic plates
What process allows the plates to move?
convection currents and heat transfer
Does convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
false
How do plates move where convection currents are sinking?
They move towards each other.
Do convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
What causes your plates to move?
convection currents!
How do plates move where convection are sinking?
They move towards each other.
Which layer of the earth contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates?
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
What makes tectonic plates move?
convection currents :)
What are convection currents in?
They are the means by which plates of the lithoshpere move.
Why do the plates move?
because of convection currents in the mantle

How do lithosphere plates move where convection currents rise?
They move apart.
Scientists think plates are moved by?
volcanos and earthquakes
Do convection current in oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
