HELP ME 50 POINTS!!!!!! K12 GRADED ASSIGNMENT!!!!!

Sources of Plate Motion
The motion of Earth's tectonic plates is due in part to convection, as well as to ridge push and slab pull. Convection is a motion in a fluid or plastic material caused by heating material below and cooling material above.
Create a model that shows plate motion and its sources. Draw a side-view of tectonic plate motion and two convection currents in the mantle to form trenches and a mid ocean ridge. Use arrows to represent the direction of the convection currents. Identify trenches and ridges in the crust. Identify ridge push and slab pull in the illustration. Draw your model here or attach it with your assignment for submission.

Answer:

Are you tryna make a 3d object or you need a drawing?

Step-by-step explanation:

Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again
