In which layer of the Earth does the motion of the convection currents drive plate movement? mantle outer core inner core lithosphere

Convection breezes drive the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's liquid molten mantle. In areas where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move out from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading

The mantle layer of the earth is where motion of convection currents drive plate movement.

The mantle is the layer that constitute the lithosphere and the inner part of the earth outside its core boundary.

The motion of convection currents which drive plate movement in the earth are observed in the mantle layer.

Hence, the mantle layer of the earth is where motion of convection currents drive plate movement.

Therefore, the Option A is correct.
