Why do scientists believe tectonic plates move?

• Conduction occurs in the mantle heating the lithosphere

• Convection currents in the mantle circulate under the asthenosphere

• Subduction occurs in the core pushing the mantle down

• Radioactive decay in the asthenosphere causes radiation in the lithosphere
