What is the driving force of moving plates (Continental drift); classic and new question!
Old idea: mantle convection drives plates. (before 1980's)
New idea: heavy(cold) subducting plate drives plate by itsellf. "Table cloth model": table cloth sometimes drops by itself.

Hot spots: Hawaii Island is one of this example. The magma repeatedly erupt and active, however the oceanic plate moves continuously, so the active volcano chain is made. some of old volcanoes now not active remains as sea mounts. example: The emperor sea mounts on the Pacific plate.
