... Tectonic plates move because of convection currents in the asthenosphere. Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid—that is, a liquid or a gas. When a region of a fluid absorbs heat energy, that region expands and becomes lighter. The warm fluid floats upward as cooler, heavier ...
