Question

explain why lithospheric plates move​

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are hot spots where the mantle is heated by the liquid outer core. New magma comes to the surface pushing the old magnetized crust away from the hot spot. This pressure from the rising material from the hot spot causes the crust in the form of lithospheric plates to move.

Answer 2

Answer:

The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift
