Lithospheric plates are divided based on their tectonic boundaries and the nature of their interactions. There are three main types of boundaries: divergent (where plates move apart), convergent (where plates collide), and transform (where plates slide past each other). Additionally, they can be classified by their composition, such as continental or oceanic plates, which influence their behavior and geological activity. These divisions help explain phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
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.
The lithospheric plates are made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
Geographical activities such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes form the basis of this division.

Yes.

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