The layer of the Earth which makes up the plates is called the lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the continental and oceanic crusts along with the hard upper mantle.
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
Because the Lithosphere is made up of huge plates that move over the surface of the Earth which causes plates to move.
Thrombin
There are different tectonic structures that are formed when deformation causes the lithosphere to break. The deformation of the lithosphere is caused by the weight of the ice.
Sporozoans; includes the organism, Plasmodium, which causes malaria.

what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
The removal of the load causes something known as glacial isostatic rebound. The weight of the glacier causes the earth's lithosphere to deform (it squashes it). When the glacier retreats and the load is removed, the earth's lithosphere springs back to its original shape.
Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.
rifting
The lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
