1) heat from radioactive decay in the core of the Earth heard the mantle.
2) Plates move averagely only a few cm a year, this has been happening ever since the planet formed and cooled to give a thick crust so this movement has added up over many years to move plates far from where they started.
3) because the mantle is heated and is able to flow slowly, convection currents are set up which cause the plates on the crust to move.

Which substance(s) have been added by humans to the atmosphere to help trigger climate change?
Blababa [14]

The correct answer is - greenhouse gases.

The humans have been having a very big impact on the composition of the atmosphere in the past century, and that has started to result into changes in the climate patters all over the globe.

The main problem appears with the huge amounts of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, but also methane. These two gases have properties that enable the greenhouse effect, which means that they are able to trap bigger amount of heat in the Earth's atmosphere, thus making it warmer.

If the ongoing trend continuous with the release of the greenhouse gases there will for sure be devastating effects on everyone and everything on the planet not so far in the future.
