The crust and upper mantle
plate tectonics
No, the wording of you question is not true. However the movement of the lithospheric plates is related to the formation of volcanoes.
No, tidal drift is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun on Earth's oceans, and it does not directly cause the movement of lithospheric plates. The movement of lithospheric plates is driven by the convection currents in the mantle beneath the Earth's crust.
The heat transfer in lithospheric plates is called conduction. This process involves the transfer of heat through the solid material of the plates due to the movement of vibrating particles.
That would be the lithosphere. This is broken into sections known as lithospheric (or tectonic) plates.
i believe it is the crust and upper mantle...
Aesthenosphere
Continental Plates
Yes.

They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
