No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
The asthenosphere, which is a partially molten layer in the upper mantle, has convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move due to the heat-driven circulation of rock material. These convection currents are responsible for the continuous motion of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface.
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from the Earth's core causes these currents, which transfer heat to the surface and drive the movement of the tectonic plates.
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from within the Earth creates these currents, leading to the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.

The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates

No, convection currents in the mantle beneath the Earth's crust are the main driving force for tectonic plate movement. These currents are caused by the heating and cooling of the mantle material, creating circulation patterns that push and pull on the plates above. While ocean currents can influence surface processes and climate, they do not directly cause tectonic plate movement.

The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
