Answer:
Convection in the asthenosphere.
Explanation:
Convection in the asthenosphere
Heat which is present in the Earth maintain the malleability of the asthenosphere , and hence provides lubrication to the Earth's tectonic plates for movement .
The convection current that is generated in the asthenosphere , tries to push the magma upward via the vents that are present in the volcanoes and thereby spreads and create a new crust .
And this generates a hotspots on the Earth's crust .
Tectonic plates are parts (pieces) of the outermost layer of Earth: the Crust. (the outermost part of the mantle is also often included in the plates). This means that the land in the middle of the plates is relatively stable while the borders of the plates can be in movement - after all this is where two pieces meet. Plate borders are where the vocanoes and Earthquakes often take place.
