Scientists believe water currents within the earth's mantle are slowly causing the plates above to move

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

The common, simplified explanation for why tectonic plates are moving is that they're carried along on currents in the upper mantle, the slowly flowing layer of rock just below the Earth's crust. Converging currents drive plates into each other. Diverging currents pull them apart
