The hot mantle rises from the deepest part, while the cooling mantle sinks, creating a convection current. It is believed that these currents are responsible for the movements of the crustal plates.

•Oceanic plates: Formed entirely by crust and totally submerged.
•Continental plates: Formed by continental crust and totally emerged.
•Mixed plates: Contain parts of continental crust and parts of oceanic crust.

•Divergent or constructive limits:
•Convergent or destructive boundaries.
•Passive or transform fault boundaries

•The lithosphere is divided into fragments called lithospheric or tectonic plates, which fit perfectly into each other.
•At the edges or boundaries of these plates, phenomena associated with volcanism and seismicity take place.
the oceanic lithosphere is created at mid-ocean ridges and destroyed in marine trenches.
•Lithospheric plates move and interact with each other.

The most accepted theory today is "Plate Tectonics".  
 Theory proposed by Hess in 1960, based on Wegner's proposal.

Geographical evidence: South American and African coasts fit perfectly together.
Geological evidence: Continuity of mountain ranges and geological formations on both sides of the Atlantic.
Paleoclimatic evidence: Remains of glaciers in Brazil indicate that it must have been somewhere else on earth many years ago.
Paleontological evidence: The presence of similar fossils in places now separated.

In 1912 he presented his theory called continental drift. And this is that about 200 million years ago the present continents were united in a single supercontinent called Pangaea, which was called by an ocean called Panthalassa. This theory is not accepted today because it could not explain how the continents moved.
