8. The theory of plate tectonics suggests that plates of the lithosphere are in motion driven by convection currents in the mantle. How does this motion support Newton's law of inertia? A The plates exert equal and opposite forces on each other.

B. The plates collide with a force which is dependent on their mass.

C. The plates accelerate in the direction of the force that is applied to them.

D. The plates continue to move until they encounter force from another plate
