In the Mantle and Core Make Tectonic Plates Move
This process creates a large swirling current which in turn moves the plates around making them bump around and move causing earthquakes. Convection currents Subduction is the process of a tectonic plate. What Makes Earth S Surface Move Plate Tectonics Outer Core Earth S Mantle It was once believed that heat from the Earths core caused convection currents in the mantle and that these currents slowly moved the crust around. . The thin and solid outermost layer of the Earth above the mantle. Plates at our planets surface move because of the intense heat in the Earths core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. As the cooled material sinks down it is warmed and rises again. When the outer core moves the plates move 1. ________ in the mantle and core make tectonic plates move. The less-dense material rises often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor. It moves in a pattern called a c...
