Is it possible to alter plate tectonics?

Is there a way to split a tectonic plate into two plates? or a way to alter their motion?

-What would the impact of a such a change up here on the surface? I know that plate tectonics is run by giant convection currents in the mantle so is there some way to change those?

Assume infinite resources and advanced technology but still within the constraints of the laws of physics.

I was thinking about re opening the western interior seaway or a chain of islands across the Atlantic or something in a few million years
