Which theory plate movement involves magma rising all the away from the lowrer mantle to spread apart plates?
hot plumes
What is caused by the movement of the plates?
The movement of the hot mantle has broken the crust apart into large plates.
The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement of the plates by convection cells in which layers?
mantle or upper mantle
How might the plasticity of the mantle influence the movement of earths lithosphere plates?
Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
What drives movement of the plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.

Plates may move because of this type of movement in the mantle?
mantle
What is caused by the movement of the plates?

What is responsible for movement of tectonic plates in lower mantle?
it the rocks
What layer drives the movement of plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.

What is the movement of plates near the Mantle called?
i dont know :D
What is believed to cause lithosperic plates to move?
It is the convectional movement in the mantle.
What force is responsible for the movement of plates at divergent boundaries?
It is the convection on the liquid outer core/ and semi fluid mantle that is responsible for the movement of plates.
How might the plasticity of the mantle influence the movement of earths lithosphere plates?
Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
