how would you explain the mechanisms behind the movement of the plates​

Sagot :

Answer:

The mechanism behind Plate Tectonics.

The main features of plate tectonics are:

  • The Earth's surface is covered by a series of crustal plates.
  • The ocean floors are continually moving, spreading from the center, sinking at the edges, and being regenerated.
  • Convection currents beneath the plates move the crustal plates in different directions.
  • The source of heat driving the convection currents is radioactivity deep in the Earths mantle.
