The earth's tectonic plates are in motion, moving like giant 'rafts' on top of the semi-molten mantle below. However this movement is slow and rates vary from less than 2.5cm /yr to over 15cm/yr.
The movement of the earth's crustal plates is believed to be due to convection currents which occur in the semi-molten mantle. These convection currents are created by heat from within the earth - much of which is generated by radioactive decay in the core. Source: http://geobytesgcse.blogspot.com/2007/01...
Because convection currents is the heating rising cooling process and if the crust and part of the upper mantle wasn't divided into sections the heated material couldn't rise up.

Convection can be demonstrated by placing a heat source at the side of a glass full of a liquid, and observing the changes in temperature in the glass caused by the warmer fluid moving into cooler areas.

Convection currents cause plate tectonics to shift, because convection currents are hot rock that flows under the surface, often going around in a sort of circular process moving the tectonic plates.

The Earth's surface is made up of a series of large plates that are are in constant motion. Convection current underneath the plates move in all directions, this convection currents are caused by heated up radioactive decay.

Help volcanoes erupt, and the they both cause the tectonic plates to move
ReplyDeleteWhen the cold materials sink to the bottom it makes the plates move releasing gases thus causing an eruption.
ReplyDeleteConvictions help the plates move and rub against each other.
ReplyDeleteThe cool material goes down and the hot material goes up. The plates slip either up or down as a result.
