Question

earth's internal structureexplain how convection currets in the mantle cause plates to move​

PrincessUmbriel · Answer

Earth's mantle, a semi-molten layer, experiences convection: hot material rises, cool material sinks. This creates currents that push and pull tectonic plates. Ridge push at mid-ocean ridges and slab pull at convergent boundaries, driven by these mantle convection currents, cause plates to move.
