It is caused by the convection currents and the heat transfer of the Earth. no you nimrods what is they floating on it is because the centre of the earth is filled with magma this creates energy and pushes the plates up, this then heats the...

The direction of the movement of one plate in relation to another depends on geometric principles that govern the behavior of rigid bodies. Earth's plates behave as rigid bodies. That is, the distances between three points on the same plate...

This is another one of those questions in geology that we may never know an answer to FOR SURE. Lots of mechanisms have been proposed (and rejected), but one thing is nearly certain - whatever the force, it's got to be REAL powerful. Let's ...

What causes the plates to move? ... Just like in the lake (or the atmosphere), water, air, or in this case rock, moves in from the side to fill the hole. But that just leaves another hole, so something has to move in to fill that one, and so on and so on until the stuff which moved in the first place does the filling and...

These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent or collision boundaries, divergent or spreading boundaries, and transform boundaries. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries.
