Question

Choose the correct option based on the image given below.

  1. Plates move due to lava.    
  2. Plates move due to heat produced in the interior of the planet.    
  3. Plates shift due to high humidity.    
  4. Plates shift due to high cold conditions.    

The correct answer is: Plates move due to heat produced in the interior of the planet.


    The plates occasionally move toward and occasionally move away from one another due to the heat produced by radioactive processes occurring within the planet’s interior. This is known as a tectonic shift.
