Learn how the tectonic plates move. Learn how the tectonic plates move. Alfred Wegener was the first Scientist to propose that the continents fit together like a puzzle and over time moved apart. His idea was brilliant but he had a problem. He couldn’t explain how the plates moved apart.

Since this time Scientists have proposed at least four mechanisms to explain how tectonic plates move over the Earth’s surface.
These four mechanisms include,
mantle convection
Ridge Push
Slab Pull
And Slab Suction
