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.
5 centimeters.
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.
True

The driving force for the movement of lithospheric plates is convection currents in the mantle. Heat from the Earth's core causes the mantle material to rise, cool, and sink, creating a cycle of circulating currents that move the rigid lithospheric plates above them. This convection process is the main mechanism driving plate tectonics.
The movement and/or interaction of lithospheric plates.

5 centimeters.
The source of energy that drives the movement of the lithospheric plates is believed to be the heat generated by radioactive decay in the Earth's interior, primarily in the mantle. This heat creates convection currents that cause the plates to move over the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
Fill the gap between separating plates.

Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
