Do convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
Why can lithosphere plates drift or move?
convection currents cause movement in the asthenosphere
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
Which part of earth's interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
h
What is a constructive force caused by the convection currents in the earth's mantle?
Convection currents in the earth's mantle cause the plates to move. When this happens, mountains can form.

How do plates move where convection currents are risig?
The lithosphere is the continental crust, oceanic crust and upper part of the mantle. The convection currents move in the mantle mostly in the Asthenosphere layer under the lithosphere. As the convention currents move it makes the lithosphere spread and shake.

What are three processes may cause tectonic plates to move move?
I'm sure it convection,slabpull,and ridge pull ~*
What is plates when there is an earthquake?
Tectonic plates influence earthquakes because of convection cells that move the plates around. When the plates collide, they cause a shockwave of energy released in the form of a earthquake.
