Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.
The Almighty God.
It will stop moving in 200 million years.
no
earth plates stop moving
The reason why is because the tectonic plates never stop moving. When one plate collides with another it causes volcanoes and earthquakes to occur.
Friction and air resistance.
Friction and air resistance.
They'd stop moving.
Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object and causes it to stop moving. It is generated when two surfaces rub against each other, converting kinetic energy into heat.
The lithosphere and sea floor spreading are both factors in the movement of tectonic plate movement. As there is no foreseeable reason for the currents to stop, there is also no foreseeable reason for all tectonic plate movement to stop.
A soft collision between two plates could possibly stop the plates from moving for a time. But if subduction occurs, when one plate is forced down into the magma, movement would begin once more.
