The most probable explanation for movement of continental and oceanic plates is caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle below the earth's crust
Explanation:
- The movement of the tectonic plates around the surface of earth is very rigid because it is very cold.
- The lithosphere includes the upper mantle of the earth's crust, the continental and oceanic crust.
- The convection currents move the mantle and the motions break the lithosphere into plates.
- These plates move around the surface of the earth and they move around and collide with each other.
- This process results in shifts of continents, and pushes up mountains. The earthquakes and volcanoes are the results of this tectonic movement over a short term period.
- The long-term results in shifts of the tectonic plates where the there is a movement of the entire continents over period of millions of years.
