The hot core of the Earth heats the magma of the mantle. The magma is then less dense so then rises toward the surface creating convection currents. Those currents push the plates.

Earthquakes occur because of plate and magma movement.Trenches form at subduction zones where one plate is pulled

back into the Earth.Volcanoes are created when the plate that is subducted

melts, expands, and pushes through the surface.Island arcs are essentially volcanoes that occur at plate

boundaries that are further away from continents so the volcanoes create islands.

Non-volcanic mountains happen only at continental - continental plate combination boundaries when two of those plates converge. (Earthquakes too.)

All other events listed here can occur at oceanic - oceanic or oceanic - continental plate combination boundaries.

Geologic events mostly occur at plate boundaries because of the bumping and pushing that occurs there between plates.

Hawaii is and example of a geologic “hot spot”. The mantle is very hot in such places which causes reoccurring volcanoes.
