Action and reaction are equal and opposite then how motion occurs?

Motion - or rather acceleration - occurs as a result of a net force, meaning that the vector sum of forces on an object is non-zero. This is unrelated to "action and reaction"; please note that "action" and "reaction" occur on DIFFERENT OBJECTS.

Does the reaction force occurs before the action force?
The action and reaction forces occur at the same time.
According To Newtons 3rd Law Of Motion For Every Action There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction Then How Come Things Move If Theres Going To Be Something Moving Them Back With Equal Force?
To say that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction is slightly misleading you, as these forces are NOT on the same object. Better to say 'if A exerts a force on B, then B exerts an equal and opposite force on A'. When I stand on my bathroom scales, I exert a downward force on the scales, which deflect until they exert an equal and opposite force on me, thus preventing me from falling. Acceleration occurs to ME when forces on ME are unbalanced. e.g. if I stood on a rocket the upward force of the rocket on me is greater than the downward force of gravity, so I would accelerate upwards. These are NOT action-reaction forces. What are action-reaction forces are the force I exert on the rocket and the force the rocket exerts on me.
Does a reaction force occur before or after the action force?
It occurs simultaneously with the action force.
An action or change in behavior that occurs as a result of a stimulus?
A Reaction
What force occurs when you apply an action force'?
a reaction force
What type of friction prevents motion?
All types of friction act opposite to the direction of motion but static friction is the friction present before motion occurs.
What is the science behind a canon shooting a cork?
For every reaction there is an opposite reaction, the action is the force that occurs with in the cannon either by an explosion or compressed gas. The reaction is the cork being propelled a distance determined by velocity and trajectory. Since cork is very light the distance won't be very far.
What is an antiperistalsis?
Antiperistalsis is the action of peristalsis occuring in the opposite direction to the direction in which it usually occurs.
What is antiperistalsis?
Antiperistalsis is the action of peristalsis occuring in the opposite direction to the direction in which it usually occurs.
What kind of motion occurs at a transform plate boundary?
The motion created is, 1 plate moves in one direction, while the second plate moves in the opposite direction.
What occurs in a reduction rection?
It's the opposite of an oxidation reaction; therefore, there's a gain of electrons or a loss of oxygen
