The statement underlying mantle layer is molten where convection currents cause the movement of the lithospheric plates explains the movement of these lithospheric plates.

<h3>What is tectonic plate movement? </h3>

The theory discusses how Earth's surface is composed out of rigid slabs of <em>rock</em> that are known as plates. These <u>large pieces </u>of plates under the Earth's surface are regarded as the lithosphere.

Therefore, convection currents that appear in the mantle lead to movements in the plates due to the flow of current to heat up the mantle.

Why are central Africa’s natural resources underdeveloped
Anastaziya [24]

The second assumption is that there is something exceptional about Africa, that while other continents and peoples have got or are getting richer, Africans, for reasons we can think but no longer speak in polite company, choose to remain in poverty. Our capacity to see Africa as divergent lets us off the hook so we don’t have to understand our own complicity in the challenges various African countries face today. It also means we rarely rage as we should against the actions of the corporations and governments that profit from instability, corruption or even inexperience (African negotiators at the climate talks have historically been disadvantaged by their lack of experience and the expectation among western negotiators that they should be grateful with whatever they get).

If there is, then, no innate propensity for corruption, violence or poverty in Africa, then the narratives that fuel the stereotypes need questioning. One possible explanation comes from the Nigerian author Chinua Achebe, who said: “The west seems to suffer deep anxieties about the precariousness of its civilisation and to have a need for constant reassurance by comparison with Africa.” Perhaps it’s not Africa that needs saving, but us.
