What is the relation between rising and sinking material in the earth's interior and subduction and rifting?

Subduction and rifting are the sinking and rising, respectively, of land masses at plate boudaries. These slow motions are caused by the convective motion of the underlying material driving the crust material above because it just floats on the lower layers.

Because it is the result of tidal heating from friction in the interior of IO as it's pulled between Jupiter and the other Galilean satellites.

Rising materials causes rifting; sinking material causes subduction.

What is the relation between sound and the temperature of material?
I think there is no relation between sound and temperature. But velocity of sound is found to be proportional to the square root of temperature of the medium (air)
What is the relation between viscosity and flow ability of a material?
The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow-ability of a material.(Viscosity=internal resistance to flow)
What is the relation between viscosity and flow-ability of a material?

What is the difference between the volcanic activity that occurs at a hot spot and the volcanic activity at a subduction boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?
The hot spot volcanic activity is not dependent on the subduction and melting of oceanic crust. The hot spot simply appears to be a non-moving place in the Earth's mantle where heat rises from the interior.
