That is why they move not because of God

No. This explains
how they move, not
why they move. These are two very different questions.
Also, you haven't addressed yet my previous post. Let me rephrase: why do you think that is it possible for mountains (specifically volcanoes) to move from place to place? Do you imagine they have legs or something?
