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.
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
It is the mantle that is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from the Earth's core creates these currents, which drive the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
The plates of the lithosphere move due to the convection currents in the mantle below. As the hot mantle material rises and cools, it creates a circular motion that drives the movement of the plates on the surface. This process is known as plate tectonics.
tectonic plates move by convection currents. Convection currents are currents that start by hot air rising and eventually turning cooler then lowers. This continues in a constant pattern like a week.
Convection currents happen in the mantle and cause tectonic plates to drift. The earth is made up of the iron and nickel core, then the mantle then the crust. And the earths surface is made up of tectonic plates. These plates move due to convection currents.
convection currents!
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.

They are the means by which plates of the lithoshpere move.
They move apart.
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.

This layer is the mantle.
Convection Currents carry the plates
No, convection currents in the mantle are the primary driving force behind the movement of tectonic plates. These currents are generated by heat from the Earth's core, causing movement in the mantle that in turn drags and moves the overlying tectonic plates.
