Answer:

D Earth's hot interior

Explanation:

The internal heat engine of the earth is the energy source that powers plate movement.

The sun drives the surface process and provides energy for the external heat engine

  • The earth's interior sources it heat from:
  1. decays of radioactive isotopes
  2. remnant heat from the formation of the earth
  3. frictional heating from the movement of the earth

Therefore, the heat is used to melt rocks and set up convection currents that drives plate movements.
