Here's why:
* Plate tectonics is driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. These currents are generated by heat from the Earth's core, causing the mantle to move in a circular pattern. This movement drags the tectonic plates along with it.
* While gravity does play a role in the overall movement of plates, it's not the primary force driving them.
* Other movements like landslides, erosion, and the flow of glaciers are primarily driven by gravity.
