What is moving the tectonic plates

Geography
1 answer:
tigry1 [53]3 years ago
7 0
Answer: Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.
