Tectonic Plates float on top of the earths mantle, the earths mantle is made up liquid which is always circulating.
The mantle, being of a silly-putty-like consistancy, is responsible for the movement of the plates on earth's crust, or plate tectonics.
No. Plate tectonics are not possible on Venus because the crust is too thick and the upper mantle is not softened by water.
They don't. Weather and climate has no affect on plate tectonics.
i do not think anyone knows in the whole world then...come really that's why they invented this site
The lithosphere is the brittle surface layer composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is the ductile upper mantle on which the lithosphere is able to move.
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
plate tectonics=D
That is the current theory of plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics.

A version of convection currents, occurring in the mantle, is thought to be the force behind plate tectonics.

The Mantle and Earth's crust
The asthenosphere is a section of the upper mantle that enables plate tectonics.
