Scientists think convection currents are what cause Earth's plates to move. A convection current is caused by differences in temperature. Mantle material close to Earth's core is very hot. Mantle material near the lithosphere is cooler.

Earth's convection currents can be thousands of kilometers across. But they move very slowly. They flow at rates of a few centimeters per year. Scientists believe this movement of mantle material carries the plates of the lithosphere with it. It causes the plates to move.
