which option tell the forces that influence the movement of earth plates A fluids and temperature, B magnetism and convection, C gravity and solar heat, D convection and gravity,

Answer 1

The correct option that identifies the forces influencing the movement of Earth's plates is D: convection and gravity.

• Convection in the mantle creates currents that help to move the tectonic plates.
• Gravity also plays a role, especially in processes like slab pull, where denser, subducting plates are pulled downward by gravity.

Other options may mention significant factors, but D best captures the primary forces involved in plate tectonics.
