Answer:

Lithospheric plates move quite slowly so that we do not feel the movement. Lithospheric Plates move at different speeds depending upon the exposure.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.

The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, The movement is caused by the convection currents that roll over in the upper zone of the mantle. This movement in the mantle causes the plates to move slowly across the surface of the Earth. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move
