Why do tectonic plates move?
Transform
at subduction zones along convergent boundaries.
a divergent boundary between two oceanic plates
transform
Hot material rises, cools, then sinks.....and repeats.
It is Earth's crust plus the rigid part of the upper mantle.
Convection currents turning in the mantle push tectonic plates in different directions.
a convergent boundary between two continental plates
Frequent earthquakes (like around the San Andreas Fault) are common along this boundary type
