The earth's tectonic plates are moving on top of the mantle. Convection in the mantle is driving this movement. In result of this convection plates pull apart (at mid-ocean ridges) and collide together forming mountain ranges and volcanic arcs. And btw the answer before mine said that Hawaii was a subduction zone and its not... its a hot spot.

What evidence did scientists use to figure out that earth inner core is solid rock?
They do not have evidence. In fact most pf things are not even true. The only thing they say they did was put a stick on the ground and with a shockwave they knew what was inside the earth.
