Answer:
Earth plate moves on top of the mantle like a leaf floats on water.
Explanation:
- The Mantle, the layer below the Earth's crust, is majorly made up of molten Earth material, and thus, exists in the liquid form.
- The plates above the Mantle that form the Earth's crust, also known as the 'tectonic plates', float on this molten Earth material present in the Mantle.
- The plates often move to cause tremors on the Earth's surface, owing to the convection currents that are generated in the Mantle.
