The theory of plate tectonics states that the lithosphere is broken into moving pieces of earth driven by convection currents located inside the mantle.
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
Tectonic Plates
You are describing the theory of plate tectonics, which explains how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath. These plates move due to convection currents in the mantle caused by heat from the Earth's interior. This movement leads to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges. Overall, the dynamics of the lithosphere and mantle are crucial for understanding the Earth's geological processes.
The litoshphere is the part of the earth broken into large plates also known as the crust the lithoshpere is the thinnest layer of all earths layers it
No, the cycle is driven by the Earths Tilt and Orbit. However the cycle will be modified in its effects by climate changes happening on the Earth.
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
Rotation and Revolution.
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
There are two principle motions of the Earth. The earth rotates around on its axis. The earth is also known to revolve around the sun.
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.

These slabs, known as tectonic plates, interact at plate boundaries leading to various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation. The movement of these plates is a result of the convection currents in the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
