What is the primary reason for the movement of tectonic plates?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that the Earth has layers, including a solid outer layer called the crust and a semi-fluid layer beneath it called the mantle.
Step 2: Know that the mantle is heated by the Earth's core, which is very hot.
Step 3: Realize that the heat from the core causes the mantle to move in a circular motion, creating convection currents.
Step 4: Understand that these convection currents push and pull the tectonic plates on the Earth's crust.
Step 5: Conclude that the primary reason for the movement of tectonic plates is these convection currents in the mantle.
