Convection. It consists of heated magma rising, then cooling, sinking, and reheating constantly in the mantle.
Tension is the force that causes plates to move sideways past each other. This can cause built up stress that releases suddenly and causes earthquakes.
the continental plates are caused when silicon,silica and dioxid combined together making the plates split and then it causes the plates to move.
continental drift
Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.
Its more ov a movement really not a process. Tectonic plates move due to convection currents in the mantle.

the answer is tension
teck tonic plates
Convergent boundries
sea floor spreadong
Transform boundary
because of the plates in earth shift fast and the force causes the earth to shake.
the continental plates are caused when silicon,silica and dioxid combined together making the plates split and then it causes the plates to move.
because of the force of the magma pushing on it and then that causes things lie earth quaks
because the floor exerts the same amount of force which means the net force is balanced causing it not to move
The earth's plates move in all directions: up, down, and sideways. That's why we have mountains and subsidances and earthquakes and volcanoes and all sorts of stuff!
