Answer:

Heat from deep in the Earth/from Earths core.

Explanation:

Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. Convection is the heat-driven circulation of a fluid. In the mantle, heat from deeper in the Earth causes the overlying mantle to circulate. The mantle can circulate because it contains a little magma (molten rock); it behaves like a very hot mush. Mantle convection currents move very, very, slowly.
