Pressure, heat, fluid densities. Kind of reminds me of a lava lamp that has been on for millions of years.

I will embrace the movements, to cool music, but how/why the reversals in directions, which were/are quite extreme?

. . . it's the gremlins in the center of the earth dontyaknow. ๐Ÿ˜›

(from the YT post itself)

The rules of plate tectonics are largely intuitive. They state that the Earthโ€™s tectonic plates do not move randomly, but rather evolve in a manner that is consistent with the forces that drive them. The principal forces are slab pull, ridge push, and trench roll-back. Understanding how these forces work provides important insights into how plate boundaries will evolve through time. Simply said, plates move only if they are pulled back into the mantle by a subducting slab or pushed laterally by a mature mid-ocean ridge system. In this animation, the evolving plate boundaries have been drawn to follow this maxim.

@FearlessFly well, that's interesting, but I think I prefer "gremlins"......
