The deepest zone of the mantle is much hotter that the upper zone.
Hot material rises to the top of the mantle and then cools and sinks.
This rising and sinking happens in a circular motion. When the mantle flows it moves the plates. Vibrations from the tightly packed metals of the inner core cause the liquid material of the mantle to move in circles. Giant fish swim circles in the mantle, and when they get to the top, their fins catch on the continents and move them along the surface of the Earth. A transverse plate boundary has two plates moving apart, creating a ridge where hot magma rises to the surface.
