Which statement is correct about the movement of plates that sit on top of the mantle? (1 point)

Question

A. They never move because they are connected to mountains.

B. They regularly move because of the convection currents of magma.

C. They regularly move because of the convection currents of oceans.

D. They never move because they are connected to Earth’s crust.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

B. They regularly move because of the convection currents of magma.

This refers to how the plates of the Earth's lithosphere (which includes the crust and the upper mantle) move due to the heat and convection currents generated within the mantle.
