Question

5 multiple choice 1 point
convection currents that are responsible for the movement of tectonic plates are located in the-
crust
outer core
inner core
mantle

Explanation:

Tectonic plate movement is driven by thermal convection currents within Earth's semi-fluid, ductile layer. The crust is the thin outer solid layer, the inner core is a solid sphere, and the outer core is liquid but its currents generate Earth's magnetic field, not plate motion. The mantle (specifically the asthenosphere part of the upper mantle) has the convection currents that move the overlying tectonic plates.

Answer:

Mantle
