Yes. Following the idea that heat rises, the magma rise from the core to the mantle, where it then cool down, this causes it to fall, however, it falls outwards, this cause the plates to push away from each other, but if they fall into each other, the plate's are pushed into one another. This is how volcano's are made, as the magma seeps though the Earth's crust and cools, forming rock.

Hope this has helped.
