What allows plates of the lithosphere to move?
Lithospheric plates are regions of Earth's crust and upper mantle that are fractured into plates that move across a deeper plasticine mantle. Hopefully this will help :)
How are plates motions connected with motions within the rest of the earths mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
How does knowing about the earths interior help us understand plate tectonics?
Knowing about the Earths inside helps to understand tectonic plates. The currents in the mantle move the tectonic plates-well they can change it and they help them move. However, it doesn't really affect much considering tectonic plates move on their own.
How does convection in the earth's mantle help to shape the geosphere?
It will move the earth's plates so there :)
How does the motions in the asthenosphere can move tectonic plates?
The asthenosphere lies beneath the lithosphere, which is where the tectonic plates lie. Because of the high temperature, the asthenosphere has the property to flow (plasticity); the tectonic plates "float" on this flow.
What is plate motions?
Motion of plates

How are the parts of a convection current in the mantle related to the plate motions?
convection currents in the mantle basically make waves and the waves move up through the layers of the earth causing the plates to move around a bit

Does the tectonic plates move about?
yes the plates can move slowly
What is the meaning of movement?
to move your body in motions
How can sea mounts help us understand the movement of tectonic plates?
The sea mounts help us understand the movement of tetonic plates because when the tetonic plates move's the earth's crust making little formations of sand underwater.
