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 lithosphere but mostly inner mantle
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.
Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that explains how the Earth's plates move. The movement is driven by the heat from the Earth's interior, causing convection currents in the mantle that drag the plates along. This movement is responsible for the formation of features like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges.

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 upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
because of convection currents in the mantle

crust mantle core
the plates move on a mantle thats like tothpast the core is the only compleat liqwid
asthenosphere
The outer mantle
convection currents
