mantle convection

Explanation:

The mechanism that drives plate tectonics as proposed by scientists the mantle convection. The mantle convection is a very slow heat transfer process.

  • It is believed that convection cells are located in the region of the mantle in which materials interact.
  • The mantle is made up of a part called the asthenosphere which is weak and moves slowly.
  • The lithosphere above is brittle and rigid and cold.
  • The cold lithosphere sinks into the mantle and the asthenosphere that is lighter and more buoyant rises to the surface.
  • This process provides the thermal energy that drives plates.
