The movement of Earth's tectonic plates is driven by the heat from the Earth's interior, specifically the convection currents in the mantle. As long as the Earth's interior remains hot enough to drive these convection currents (which is expected to be for a very long time, essentially "never" on a human - or even geologically short - time scale compared to the lifespan of the Earth), the plates will continue to move. The options of 10 million years or 100 million years are too short a time frame for the internal heat of the Earth to dissipate enough to stop plate movement.
