The thermal convection that drives plate motion is caused by the breakdown of radioactive materials in the Earth's mantle. The mantle is a semi-solid area in the Earth's subsurface. Concentrations of potassium, uranium, and thorium constantly undergo fission thereby releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat results in convection currents.
