Tectonic Plates: Tectonic Plates sit on the top of the mantle. There are two different types of plates Oceanic Plates they are found under the ocean floor, then there is the Conteintal Plates these plates are contients. The contenital crust is thicker then oceanic crust that is why the conteints sit up higher then the oceans. As the deeper you go into the earth the warmer it gets. When there is warm air it always wants to move to the cold area so when this occurs this is convection. The air moves in a cycle. When there becomes uneven cooling and causes a convection current thats what causes earthquakes.
