The flowing part of the Earth's mantle, called the asthenosphere, creates convection currents that drive the movement of tectonic plates. As the plates interact with these currents, they can either be pulled apart, pushed together, or slide past each other, leading to processes like seafloor spreading, subduction, and transform faulting. Overall, it is this movement of tectonic plates that shapes the Earth's surface and drives geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
