The outer mantle
the asthenosphere
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from within the Earth creates these currents, leading to the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
It is the mantle that is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from the Earth's core creates these currents, which drive the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
Tectonic Plates.
Inner core
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from the Earth's core causes these currents, which transfer heat to the surface and drive the movement of the tectonic plates.
the inner core
The part of Earth's outer layer that moves are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The outer core.
Pressure decreases as you move outward from Earth's interior. This decrease is due to the weight of the rock layers above exerting less force as you move towards the surface. The pressure gradient is part of the reason why we have different layers within the Earth.
plates are part of a mountain that makes it move
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth that contains tectonic plates. These plates are divided pieces of the lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
