How does convection move the plates?

• Hot liquid rock from the Earth's mantle rises pushing the cold crust out of the way forming new land.

• Cold crust sinks and the frozen inner core becomes liquid forming a river.

• Ocean currents help move the plates.

• Hot crust sinks and the cold mantle rises to move the plates

• Fossils are found on different continents because the crust used to be in a different shape.

• Humans moved them millions of years ago.
