Which statement explains how convection currents affect the movement of plates?

Answer:Heat from Earth's interior causes currents of hot rising magma and cooler sinking magma to flow, moving the crust along with them.

Convection currents direct the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle. In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading
