What causes the plates in Earth's crust to move?

  • As convection cell is a system in which a fluid is warmed, loses density and is forced into a region of greater density. ... It causes the plates of our earth's crust move.

What causes the plates in Earth's crust 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.
