Convection currents in the upper mantle are currently thought to be responsible for plate movement.
Convection currents
plate tectonics
Boobs are awesome
The answer here would be Radioactive Decay.
Curving of winds and currents caused by Earth's rotation is called surface currents.
The Earth's annual motion around the sun is called a revolution.
The apple has mass. The Earth has mass. The apple falls down, and the Earth "falls" up. The Earth's motion is not measurable. The apple's motion is.
Heliocentric is the motion of earth around the sun. Geocentric is the motion of earth rotating about its axis.

Convection currents in the upper mantle are currently thought to be responsible for plate movement.
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
The continental plates are continually in motion due to the convection currents. The convection currents are driven from heat generated from radioactive decay within the earth.
Yes
Convection currents are the movement of fluid as a result of differential heating or convection. In the case of the Earth, convection currents refer to the motion of molten rock in the mantle as radioactive decay heats up magma, causing it to rise and driving the global scale flow of magma.
A brief description of plate tectonics would be the theory that parts of Earth's lithosphere are always in motion, driven by the convection currents inside the mantle.
Currents on the Earth are put into motion by the pull of the moon and gravity. Currents are important because they help to circulate the water in the oceans and seas.
Earth is like a giant magnet because of convection currents in the mantle. Convection is the transfer of hear by the motion of particles in a fluid.

I would call this convection currents in the mantle.
