They move because of the heat from the outer core and the mantle.

mantle.
Yes there are! That's why the plates move! It's caused by convection circulating the magma in the mantle creating currents!
The effects of convection currents in the mantle are an overall movement of magma, the shifting of plates, and the even distribution of heat. This helps to reduce the amount of earthquakes and volcano eruptions.
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.

They both are the same because they are currents that move like waves

The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.

Continents move due to the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large and small plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement of these plates is driven by the forces of mantle convection, causing them to either collide, separate, or slide past each other. This movement of plates results in processes such as seafloor spreading, subduction, and continental drift, leading to the shifting and repositioning of continents over millions of years.
