Answer:

Mantle convection flows, edge push and chunk draw are three of the powers that have been proposed as the principle drivers of plate development (in light of What drives the plates? Pete Loader).

Step-by-step explanation:

There are various contending hypotheses that endeavor to clarify what drives the development of structural plates. How the Earth's covering is part into huge areas called structural plates is depicted.

Their development and impacts at plate limits are clarified for example quakes, volcanoes, mountain building, sea edges/channels, subduction (some portion of the stone cycle).
