Where is the location of plate tectonics?

First of all, there is no location of plate techtonics! Plate techtonics is the theory that Earth's crust and part of the upper mantle are broken into sections. These sections (plates) move on a plasticlike layer of the mantle.

What is believed to cause lithosperic plates to move?

The movement of lithospheric plates is primarily driven by the process of plate tectonics, which is caused by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. As the hot material rises and cooler material sinks in the mantle, it creates forces that push and pull the plates, causing them to move over the surface of the Earth. This movement can result in phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
