Slowly. It has been compared to the rate at which our fingernails grow.
Glaciers move slowly.
They move slowly in the day from the predators but quite quickly in the night because it will be dark.

Glaciers move slowly.
Lithospheric plates move relatively slowly, at rates ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters per year, depending on the specific plate and location. This movement is driven by the process of plate tectonics, where plates interact at their boundaries through processes like subduction, seafloor spreading, and continental collision.
there is convection in the mantle. it causes the plates to move.
The Earth's plates move very slowly, so the effects are difficult to notice except at the plate boundaries. Modern measuring techniques can detect the movements however.
As plates move toward each other, one plate sinks under the other plate.
How you move - quickly, slowly, gently, strongly
The theory of plate tectonics.
Scientists use computer models based on current plate movements, geological data, and theories of tectonic processes to make predictions about future plate movements. By analyzing past movements and patterns, scientists can infer potential future scenarios for plate tectonics. Continuous monitoring of seismic activity and ground deformation also helps in predicting future plate movements.
