Which statement explains how convection currents affect the movement of plates? gravity pulls one edge of a plate down into the mantle, which causes the rest of the plate to move as well. heat from earth’s interior causes lithospheric plates to collide at convergent plate boundaries, causing volcanoes. heat from earth’s interior causes currents of hot rising magma and cooler sinking magma to flow, moving the crust along with them. as convection currents drift across the oceans, they bring the pieces of earth’s crust with them as the supercontinent breaks apart.

The answer is: heat from Earth’s interior causes currents of hot rising magma and cooler sinking magma to flow, moving the crust along with them. Mantle convection has nothing to do with the oceans and everything to do with differential heating of magma. Hope this image helps.

The correct statement that will explain how convection currents affects plates movement is ;  Heat from Earth’s interior causes currents of hot rising magma and cooler sinking magma to flow, moving the crust along with them ( 3 )

The convection currents that affects directly the rate of heat received by the magma which in turn affects the movement of the earths tectonic plates. while the convection currents from the earths' mantle does not have an effect on the flow or movement of the oceans.

Hence we can conclude that the correct statement is Heat from Earth’s interior causes currents of hot rising magma and cooler sinking magma to flow, moving the crust along with them.
