the lithospheric plates are thought to be slowly shifting. what is the motivating factor that makes this movement possible?

Sagot :

Answer:

Lithospheric plates are part of a planetary scale thermal convection system. The energy source for plate tectonics is Earth's internal heat while the forces moving the plates are the “ridge push” and “slab pull” gravity forces. It was once thought that mantle convection could drive plate motions.
