Yes they do.
So this is true
The movement of tectonic plates in the lower mantle is primarily driven by the process of mantle convection. This is caused by the heat released from the Earth's core, which creates circulation patterns in the mantle that can cause the plates to move. The upwelling and downwelling of material in the mantle contribute to the lateral movement of 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 process is called mantle convection. This is when the heat from Earth's core causes the mantle to slowly flow, creating currents that can push and move the tectonic plates on the Earth's surface.
Convection currents in the mantle drag the plates like a conveyor belt.
Mantle convection is the slow motion of the Earth's silicate mantle, caused by convection currents that carry heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth. Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates to move around the Earth's surface, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.

The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
there is convection in the mantle. it causes the plates to move.
because of convection currents in the mantle
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.
volcanos and earthquakes
Plates on the Earth's mantle are carried around by convection currents from the magma. This happens incredibly slowly.

This layer is the mantle.

No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
