What are lithospheric plates? Why do plates move?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth's mantle and fit snugly against one another. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

The lithosphere is broken into a number of plates known as the Lithospheric plates.

The movement of molten magma inside the earth results in the movement of plates.
