Question

Most geologists think that the movement of Earth’s plates is caused by

Answer 1

convection currents

they are the cause

Answer 2

The movement of the Earth's plates is known as morphology.

Explanation:

• Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents within the earth's mantle.

• The movement of the Earth's plates is known as morphology.

• Geologists think the plates move due to a build-up of utmost heat within the Earth's crust.

• Warm, more dense liquified material rises whereas cool, less dense material sinks creating convection currents that cause the tectonic plates to move.

• Cool, more dense liquified material rises whereas heat, less dense material sinks creating convection currents that cause the tectonic plates to move.
