Best Answer

There is no "driving force". The tectonic plates created an oceanic/oceanic subvergent boundary where underwater volcanoes formed. The magma comes up through faults and cracks in the lithosphere from the astenosphere and comes out of the volcanoes. I suppose you could say the "driving force" is the heat from the center of the earth heating the rock to a liquid state.
