They don't move in a specific direction. Every plate moves in it's own direction and sometimes they can change directions.
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
Convergent plates move towards each other, leading to the collision and subduction of one plate beneath the other. This movement often results in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
they move because of the magma

A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
The theory that states that plates move around on the asthenosphere is called plate tectonics. This theory explains the movement of the Earth's lithosphere into different plates and their interactions at plate boundaries due to the convective currents in the asthenosphere beneath them.
