no but coliding plates create volcanoes
no
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
magma is very hot so as it boils it moves the plates of the earth causing the continents to slowly move apart
volcanoes: make the ground crumble and break and cause plates to move and smash earthquakes: makes the ground break and smash together and causes plates because they break when they hit each other.
Not per-Se, but plates pulling apart AND plates being overridden do cause magma upwellings.
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
The process called plate tectonics is responsible for plates pulling apart. Over time, and with the combination of carbon dioxide, erosion, and force, plates are able to pull apart. This will eventually cause some plates to separate from one another.
The thing that causes oceanic trenches would be two ocean plates pulling apart. This would leave a space in between the plates that is the trench.
volcanoes
no
Most land volcanoes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When plates move apart or collide, it can create cracks in the Earth's crust, allowing magma to rise to the surface and form a volcano.

Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes
What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.
Not all boundaries cause volcanoes because volcanic activity is primarily determined by the movement and interaction of tectonic plates. Volcanoes are mainly formed at divergent and convergent plate boundaries, where the plates either move apart or collide. Transform plate boundaries, where plates slide past each other, do not typically have volcanic activity. Additionally, the presence of a hotspot or a region with abnormally hot mantle material can also lead to volcanoes forming away from plate boundaries.
