Tectonic plates move due to the high pressure of the hot earth's core jostling them around. There are 4 ways that plates can move:
1) They bump straight into each other
2) one slides under the other
3) they slide past each other
4) they move apart (callled constructive) which allows new plates to form.
These can all cause earthquakes and volcanoes to erupt.
What else can I help you with?
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
Do the earths plates move slow?
yes
Do Earths Tetonic plates move apart?
Yes they do.
What state move mean describes earths plates?
In human history no state has had to move because of the Earth's plates.
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.

What layer of earth is made up of plates that move?
The earths crust
Earthquakes happen when what section of the earths crust move?
The tectonic plates.
What causes earths plates to move continuously?
Convection in the earth's mantle.
Do earths plates move fast?
2.5 centimeters per year
Why do Hawaiian Islands move?
They move because the plates in Earths mantle shift and cause the island to move slightly. As the plates move around they cause changes in Earths landforms. The more pressure is on the plates the more they move around. Because of Japans tsunami and earthquakes, the plates were moved around to Hawaii and possibly could have caused an island to move. If you wander what plates are well they are rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle rock.
