I can assume that it is happenning because of the earths core not being perfectly round. which changes the plates

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the plates move apart because of the oceans' tides, mixed with the earth breaking down over time, creating less to hold onto.

# data[].attributes.body
The convection currents are moving them. Convection currents are under water volcanos that come from the core of the earth that move the plates apart.

# data[].attributes.body
I can assume that tectonic plates that are moving, because the earth is always moving.

# data[].attributes.body
I think maybe it's moving because of the flowing magma underneath the surface...???

# data[].attributes.body
The convection currents are moving them.By pushing  magma up through the tectonic plates therefore pushing them away from each other.

# data[].attributes.body
i think the plates move because of the earth rotating

# data[].attributes.body
My prediction is that when the earth moves and rotates, over time the plates move very slowly and they come apart from each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it might be happening because the earth has many tectonic plates and the core of the earth is not smooth or perfectly round. In that way, the plates might move a little over time.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the convection currents are moving them

# data[].attributes.body
I assume the tectonic plates move apart due to seafloor spreading, new crust is pulled out of the ground so the old crust is recycled into the Earth's core. The convection currents help this process by moving the plates.

# data[].attributes.body
all the energy in the earth is releasing all of the pressure little by little like volcanos and things like that

# data[].attributes.body
The earth is always moving. Also the magma that's moving under the Earth

# data[].attributes.body
Convection currants are moving them. The lava in this picture shows the plates moving.

# data[].attributes.body
The tectonic plates move because the magma pushes the plates apart.

Short summery about how it works like just an image

# data[].attributes.body
The magma/radiation from below the crust moves the tectonic plates. Sometimes they crash into each other to create earthquakes but mostly small ones make earthquakes. They don't always have to move away from each other but if they do volcanos can form. The magma currents are call convenction currents

# data[].attributes.body
The tectonic plates move because magma from under the earths crust slowly breaks it apart.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that earthquakes cause them to spread apart. But since they spread very very slowly, the earthquakes should be very weak.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I think to magma causes the plates to move

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe because of all the volcanoes under the earth and all the heat that builds up

# data[].attributes.body
that's why tectonic plates they are spreading apart because of how the earth spin are the globe that is what is making it spread apart.

# data[].attributes.body
The plates might be moving apart because something below is slowly forcing its way up, pushing the plates out of the way.

# data[].attributes.body
maybe its because the gravity is pushing the plates apart or it could be water pushing them or it could be the molten stuff inside of the earth that lets the plates move
one of those

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the convection currents under the Earth are spreading the tectonic plates apart and pushing them together.

# data[].attributes.body
I think magma moves the tectonic plates, and its coming from under the ground and moving them apart.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the heat and pressure of the outer core is building up and the tectonic plates are being forced open to let all the heat and pressure out of the outer core

# data[].attributes.body
Magma from below the crust moves the tectonic plates.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they move because of the core of the earths heat and i think that the heat might try to kind of escape through the crust. and i think that might move the plates.

# data[].attributes.body
Earth is dynamically dynamic due to its internal heat, which flows through the mantle. This heat is believed to have created the conditions that led to the movement of tectonic plates.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the plates are moving by the Earth rotating and what makes it move apart

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
the plates are moving because of the radioactive processes in the Earth causes the plates to move, sometimes towards each other sometimes away from each other.
