Which of the following is consistent with the plate tectonic theory?

A. Lithosphere convection drives mantle movement.

B. As a plate sinks into the asthenosphere, it pulls the trailing plate along.

C. Lunar tidal forces drive
continental movement.

D. Gravity-driven "ridge push" moves plates at convergent plate boundaries.

E.
Convection driven by cool rocks rising in the mantle moves the overlying lithosphere.

Answer 1

Convection driven by cool rocks rising in the mantle moves the overlying lithosphere.
