Question at position 2

What causes the Earth's tectonic plates to move?


wave action in the ocean


Heating and cooling of magma from the Earth's core


Gravity

Answer 1

Question 1 — select all that apply:
- Deep Ocean Trenches (correct)
- Mountain Ranges (correct)

Potholes and caverns are not formed by plate movement.

Question 2 — correct answer:
- Heating and cooling of magma from the Earth's core

Explanation: Heat-driven convection in the mantle (movement of hot, rising and cooler, sinking rock) is the primary driver of plate motion; gravity (slab pull) also contributes, but wave action in the ocean does not drive plate tectonics.
