∙ 9y agoScientists believe plate movement is caused by the difference in temperature between the Earth's core and the mantle. The cool and hot matter move toward each other and circulate causing what's known as a type of convection current. It's believed this movement causes the plates to move.

Which has not been proposed as a mechanism of plate motions?
The idea that plate motions are caused by electromagnetic forces has not been widely proposed as a mechanism of plate motions. The most accepted mechanism is the theory of plate tectonics, which suggests that plate motions result from the movement of convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Other proposed mechanisms include ridge push, slab pull, and mantle plumes.
