Question

What is the causes of plate tectonic?

Answer 1

Answer:

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. ... The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle below the crust. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of this tectonic movement

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Hot rising currents would occur beneath oceanic ridges. Magma intruding into the ridge would push lithosphere apart at the ridge.
• A combination of dragging the lithosphere along the top of the convection cell, ridge push, sliding, and slab pull all appear to be contributing factors to the cause of plate tectonics
