The earth's plates move slowly because how big the earthquake is he bigger the amount the plates will move and the slower the earthquake is the less it moves.
2 centimeters
5-10 centimeters
2 centimeters per year
2.5 cm. per year
9CM
About an inch per year.
Plates move from a fraction of an inch (a few millimeters) to about 5 inches (13 centimeters) a year. No one doesn't really know how much a day though!
The plates move slowly. Three centimeters a year.
Mountains move by the plates under the earth moving. When plates move, often tsunamis and earthquakes happen. Mountains move 1 cm per year when the plates move!
Plate tectonics deals with the movements of earth's plates. The two types of plates are continental plates, which move at 2 cm a year, and ocean/oceanic plates which move at 10 cm a year.

the plates move over time . they move 10cm (4in) a year however over millions of years they move thousands of kilometers . this is plates tections
Not meters, but centimeters. Current plates move at a few centimeters (hundredths of meters) per year. The largest of these movements are not much more than one or two inches.
The average rate of movement of tectonic plates per year is roughly one to two inches. Individual parts of interacting plates can move more than several feet during earthquakes. Over large time spans, tectonic plates can move to all parts of the globe.
they move about 2 cm per year

Some plates move at a rate of several centimeters each year. Other move only a millimeters per day.
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
