Convection in the mantle and pressure of magma on the edge of the plate

Explanation:

Convection currents occur in the mantle because the upper mantle (asthenosphere) is generally cooler than the lower mantle. The convections apply upward pressure on the lower edges on the lithosphere as the melted rocks upwell from below. The lithosphere deflects the convections  and as the convections churn clockwise of anticlockwise, they drag the lithosphere with it via friction. This is what is stipulated to cause tectonic plate movements.

2. Socialist systems often have mixed economies because the state
Fudgin [204]

In the socialist systems the state shares economic control with private enterprise.

Explanation:

The socialist systems are systems where the economy is of mixed type. This is due to the transitional nature of the socialist system, so it has elements of both the system from which it is moving away, and from the system toward it is striding to. In general, it is traditional or market economy from which this system is moving away and transforms into communism, though there are few exceptions that are in the opposite manner.

While the private enterprises are allowed to exist and prosper, there are some limitations, as they are often obligated to be business partners with the state and have to stick to the state's rules. Also, the state is a powerful player on the market, owning and controlling the most important resources and infrastructure.
