What drives plate movement?


A. Convection currents in the mantle.


B. Convection currents in the inner core.


C. Convection currents in the crust.


D. Oceanic currents

Respuesta :

Answer: The answer is A, convection currents in the mantle.

Explanation: Plate tectonics move because they are carried along by convection currents in the upper mantle of the planet (the mantle is a slowly flowing layer of rock just below Earth's crust). Hot rock just below the surface rises and when it cools and gets heavy, it sinks again.
