Answer:

Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth's mantle.

Explanation:

Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.
