Question
what drives tectonic plate movement? coriolis effect convection currents gravity the earths magnetic core
Tectonic plate movement is primarily driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. The Coriolis effect influences wind and ocean currents, gravity has a minor role (like slab pull), and the Earth’s magnetic core is related to the magnetic field, not direct plate movement. So the correct option is the one with "convection currents".
