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 drives the process of plate teconics?
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.
What happens in the mantle that makes the plates move?
sing
What layer of the earth do its plates move on?
the lithosphere but mostly inner mantle
What is believed to cause lithosperic plates to move?
It is the convectional movement in the mantle.
What is the soft layer of the mantle on which plates move?
its because the plates
What is the Soft layer of the mantle on which the plates move?
its because the plates
Plates may move because of this type of movement in the mantle?

Which layer of the earth contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates?
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
What is convection and how does it cause plates to move?
What is convection and how does it cause plates to move? What are the consequences of convection in the mantle?
What happens as earths mantle drags on the bottom of techtonic plates?
The plates move
Why do the plates move?
because of convection currents in the mantle
What happens in the mantle that makes the plates move?
sing
Why do lithosperic PLATES move constantly?
mantle movements
What are the way plates move?
crust mantle core
