Step-by-step explanation:

Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. The convection currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly, causing movement in the plates above them.
