12 TrueorFalse 1 point Convection currents in the asthenosphere drive tectonic plate movements. True False Previous

## Step 1<br />The problem is a true or false question about the role of convection currents in the asthenosphere in driving tectonic plate movements. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />The 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.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Convection 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.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Therefore, the statement that convection currents in the asthenosphere drive tectonic plate movements is indeed true.
