Why do the plates moves?

How do convection currents make our earth move? – draw a diagram if needed!What is created at A and B and why?One is called a CONSTRUCTIVE margin and one is called a DESTRUCTIVE margin – which do you think is which and why?

Converging, diverging and conservative plates

Constructive / diverging margin

Destructive / converging margin

Conservative plate margin

Collision Margin
