One reason is that the plates float on a hot boiling mentle. when the heat rises and the mentle expands the plates above it also moves. 
the other reason is that the plates themselves move.plates have warmer inner sides that tend to rise. and colder outer side that tends to sink. this tug of war between the hotter and colder sides of the plate also helps them move.

How and why did absolute and limited monarchies form?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: They originated in Europe after the Middle Ages.

Explanation:

Absolute monarchies arose under the absolute rule of kings. The best example of an absolutist monarchy and rule is France and its King Louis XIV. The king removed all obstacles to have complete control over the state. He surrounded himself with proven and obedient people and thus ensured absolute rule.

An example of a limited monarchy can be found in England. The parliament decides a country in which there is a king but no absolute power, but the country's political situation. A limited monarchy is the British's effort to avoid complete control of one man in the state.
