When does earth crust move?
The tectonic plates of Earth's crust are always moving, but the movement is far too slow to be perceived without sensitive measuring equipment. For example, the northward movement of India at the rate of two inches per year is considered fast. Usually the only times we perceive the movement of Earth's crust are when part of a tectonic plate gets stuck, and the movement of the rest of the plate causes potential energy to build up in the stuck part until it has enough energy to free itself and catch up with the rest of the plate. That is how most earthquakes happen.
