Where plates converge, usually where the mantle is downwelling, one plate is forced beneath another. Through convection, hot regions of the asthenosphere heated from below rise closer to the surface, propelling the plates, and displace colder, denser material, which sinks back to lower parts of the mantle. When this involves plates with. Convection is the idea that dense, cold things sink, and buoyant, warm things rise. The motion of tectonic plates is driven by one simple principle, convection.
