Lithospheric plates, which also are called tectonic plates, move towards or away from each other when an earthquake occurs.
How does the continental drift form?
Continental drift is what happens when the Earth's plates shift either towards or away from the other plates. Earthquakes occur when two of the plates bump into each other. It happens when the magma from within the Earth rises up and pushes the plates, due high pressure they pose. That's the best I can do.

What is the plate boundary where plates are moving towards each other?
A fault.
How do convergent move?
They Move Towards Each Other because of the Plates.
