Answer 1

The correct response is **convection currents**. Convection currents in the Earth's mantle are primarily responsible for the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. These currents are driven by the heat from the Earth's core, causing the mantle material to rise and fall, which in turn causes the plates to move.
