All layers of the Earth are moving, in some fashion.
Convection in the earth's mantle drives the movement of the tectonic plates.
all countries are on tectonic plates because everything on the surface of the earth is on tectonic plates. be more specific with your questions.
The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
crust? what is it that you are asking exactly?
plates of the earth's crust that float on top of the molted mantle layer.
Continental drift is the theory that "plates" on the Earth are constantly in motion and have been for millions of years. Tectonic plates are the actual moving plates.

tectonic plates.
Large sections of Earth's crust move due to the constant motion of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth's surface. This movement is caused by the heat generated from the Earth's core, which drives convection currents in the mantle. As the currents move, they drag the overlying tectonic plates along with them, resulting in the motion of the Earth's crust.
Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's rocky mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the earth to the surface. It is the driving force that causes tectonic plates to move around the Earth's surface.
The thermal convection that drives plate motion is caused by the movement of molten rock in the mantle. Heat from Earth's core causes the mantle to circulate in a convection current, which in turn drags the overlying tectonic plates along with it, driving plate motion.
The layers of the Earth, such as the lithosphere and asthenosphere, are directly related to the movement of tectonic plates. The lithosphere, which comprises the rigid outer part of the Earth, is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement and interaction of these plates is what drives processes like plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
The Earth's tectonic plates are in constant motion. This movement is possible because they lay on top of the asthenosphere which is the outer mantle.
The movement of tectonic plates is primarily driven by the convective flow of molten rock in the upper mantle. This convection occurs due to the heat generated by the radioactive decay of elements within the Earth, which causes the molten rock to rise, cool, and then sink back down, creating a circular motion that drives the movement of tectonic plates.
