How did the mount Pinatubo plates move?
The plates involved in Mt. Pinatubo's eruption are called a destructive plate boundary. This means that the plates move towards each other and the oceanic plate is denser than the continental plate and therefore it moves underneath the continental plate. As this peice of land moves underneath this is called the subduction zone, and the plate moves into the magma chamber of the volcano and it melts as magma which forces the magma up the main vent thus causing an eruption.

Could the earth's magnetic poles be the cause of continental drift?
No, the Earth's magnetic poles are not responsible for continental drift. Continental drift is primarily driven by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's lithosphere. The Earth's magnetic field does play a role in plate tectonics through magnetic stripes on the ocean floor, but it is not the primary cause of continental drift.
What layer moves at tectonic plates?
The lithosphere is the layer that moves with the tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
