Answer:

Convection currents

Step-by-step explanation:

A convection current is the movement of a fluid that happens because of a temperature or density difference that causes particles to circulate creating a current. When this movement occurs in the mantle of the Earth results in the movement of the tectonic plates.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
