What do plate teconics refer to?
Plate tectonic is the state the outer portion of the earth crust composed rigid units called plates.
What drives the process of plate tectonics's?
unequal heat ditribution
Does the sun support the process of plate tectonics?
No it does not, the molten core inside the Earth is what drives plate tectonics. The Sun has nothing to do with the process.
What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.

What drives the process of plate tectonics the currently accepted explanation for the movements of drifting continents?
Unequal heat distribution.
What will the earth be like with out plate teconics?
Everybody lives on plates, the plates are part of the crust, if you get rid of the plates we will be on the mantle, which is basically magma and some rock, so I think we would all die.

What force drives the process of pulling dense pieces of oceanic crust downward towards the mantle?
New crust is formed on the opposite end of the plate as it is pulled away from its neighbor.
What drives plate motion inside earth?
convection currents
When a plate is pushed into another plate what process is that?
A convergent boundary is formed when a plate is pushed into another by the process of subduction.
