Explicación
## Step 1The problem is a true or false question about the role of convection currents in the asthenosphere in driving tectonic plate movements. ## Step 2The asthenosphere is a layer of the Earth's mantle that lies beneath the lithosphere. It is semi-fluid and allows for the movement of tectonic plates.## Step 3Convection currents in the asthenosphere are caused by the heat from the core of the Earth. These currents cause the semi-fluid asthenosphere to move, which in turn causes the tectonic plates on the Earth's surface to move.## Step 4Therefore, the statement that convection currents in the asthenosphere drive tectonic plate movements is indeed true.
