Question

2. What force causes the tectonic plates to move around? a. Earthquakes deep inside the Earth's surface b. Convection cycles in the mantle that are formed by the heat from the core c. The gravitational pull of the Sun d. The weight of the oceans resting on these plates​

Answer 1

Answer:

Magma is the molten rock below the crust, in the mantle. Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.
