Evidence suggests that plate motion and mantle convection are related processes.
Warmer portions rise and cooler portions fall.
Water vapor in the air forms liquid water.
I can't see "the following" but this is true of convection -- convection is a transfer of heat by movement of the heated liquid or gas
i do not know
mantle.
Convection currents in the mantle are what causes tectonic plates to move. Uneven heating of the mantle results from radioactive decay of some long-lived isotopes in the mantle, which are not evenly distributed.
QuestionThe term for the circular movement of material inside earth's mantle is convection current. This current causes the movement of the tectonic plates.
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
The mantle is where convection cells are formed. Convection currents help stimulate the tectonic plate movements thus recycling sediments and soil.

Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.

Convection currents happen in the mantle and cause tectonic plates to drift. The earth is made up of the iron and nickel core, then the mantle then the crust. And the earths surface is made up of tectonic plates. These plates move due to convection currents.
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
Tectonic
QuestionThe term for the circular movement of material inside earth's mantle is convection current. This current causes the movement of the tectonic plates.
Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates of the Earth to move slowly. Mantle convection is when heat moves from the mantle to the surface and causes the mantle, and the tectonic plates to move very slowly.
