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 :)
What process allows the plates to move?
convection currents and heat transfer
Does heat energy inside the earth move plates?
Yes it does
What is the Role of asthenosphere in the movement of tectonic plates?
The asthenoshere acts like jello and allows the lithosphere, containing the plate, to move. Tectonic plates could not move without the asthenoshere.
What process allows the tectonic plates to move?
Tectonic plates move due to a process called plate tectonics. It is driven by the movement of molten rock in the Earth's mantle, which causes the plates to slowly drift and collide with each other. This movement is caused by convection currents in the mantle, creating a continuous cycle of plate motion.
What sort of energy allows the tectonics plates to move?
The Earths internal heat.
What allows tectonic plates to move on mantle?
convection currents
What part of the mantle allows tectonic plates to move?
The lithosphere.
What allows the tectonic plates in the lithosphere to move?
the hot magma moves around and they move.

What is distinctive about the asthenosphere that allows plates to move?
because of deep current

What is an transport?
Allows molecules to move but requires energy.
What happens to plates above rising convection currents?
the large amount of energy forces the two plates to move apart
