The movement of the hot mantle has broken the crust apart into large plates.
Most geologists believe that the movement of the Earth's plates is caused by the process of convection currents in the mantle. These currents are driven by the heat generated from the core of the Earth, which causes the molten rock in the mantle to move in circular patterns, leading to the movement of the tectonic plates.
Earthquake activity is primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates along fault lines. When these plates grind against each other, tension builds up until it is released in the form of an earthquake.
The movement of tectonic plates is primarily caused by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Heat from the Earth's core creates these currents, which cause the plates to slowly move and interact with each other. This movement leads to various geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
No, earthquakes are caused by the movement of the different plates of the earth. When one of the plates slips under the other, over the other, or into each other it creates an earthquake.
The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement of plates by convection cells in the Earth's mantle. These convection cells are caused by the heat from the Earth's core, which creates movement in the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer of the mantle, leading to the movement of the rigid lithospheric plates above it.

Trenches are caused by plate movement.
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
