Well convection currents are what the plates (Tectonic plates) move on. Convection is heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid.

Example: As soup on the bottom of a pot gets hot (when you heat soup on a stove), it expands and therefore becomes less dense. The warm, less dense soup moves upward and floats over the cooler denser soup. At the surface, the warm soup spreads out and cools, becoming denser. Then, gravity pulls this cooler, denser soup back down to the bottom of the pot, where it is heated again.

HOPE THIS HELPED!
