This will be in detail for your information. 3 driving forces of plate motion...one plate moves underneath the other or a continental collision (if the 2... cause the gravitational sliding of lithosphere plates away from them...
Convection currents in the mantle and gravity (due to the processes of ridge push and slab pull).
Convection
Ridge Push
Slab Pull
basal drag, ridge push and slab pull are the three forces that work together to cause plate motions.
Ridge push, convection, slab pull.
Its more ov a movement really not a process. Tectonic plates move due to convection currents in the mantle.
No, they do not. The tectonic plates grind and scrape against others, witch causes earthquakes
The answer is Tectonic Plates
tectonic plates move against each other essentially because of the movement of molten rock underneath the earth's surface or crust. This movement causes the plates to rub against each other.
A long section of tectonic plates under California means the State experiences small earthquakes every day.The tectonic plates under Mount Everest produced a 7.8 earthquake in Nepal in May 2015.Scientists know that as tectonic plates pass move by each other, it causes major upheaval underground which causes an earthquake.
The volcanic activey under the crust causes the tectonic plates to move
Magma moving underneath the earth causes tectonic plates to move about.
convection currents
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
Earthquakes are caused by two plates getting hung up, or locked in place. The tremors that follow are the usual forces that move the tectonic plates.

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.
The tectonic plates move because of the great amount of liquid rock, or magma that they 'float' on and get pushed by.
the tectonic platesthe tectonic plates can be move to be far and near to each other
The answer is Tectonic Plates
No(see the explanation of the question "Why do the tectonic plates move?"
