What is the sections of the earth that move about and cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
They are called tectonic plates. There are : Eurasian Plate, Arabian Plate, African Plate, South American Plate, Caribbean Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, Philippine Plate, Indo-Australian Plate and the Antarctic Plate.

What direction do plate tectonics move in?
They don't move in a specific direction. Every plate moves in it's own direction and sometimes they can change directions.
What direction do the convergent plate move?
It depends on which plate tectonics you are talking about. Each plate has its specific direction of movement. All plate tectonics move in different directions.

Can a transform plate boundary slide along each other in two different directions?
In Earth Science today, we learned that a transform curstal plate margin are created when ttwo crustal plates move along each other. Our teacher told us that it seems they move in two different directions (the San Andreas Fault) because the Pacific Plate moves faster than the North American Plate. It is observed by the displacement of the rocks, the oceanic rocks (Pacific Plate) move in a N-NW direction, and the crustal rocks (North American Plates) also did move in a N-NW direction, but at a slower rate, making it look like they moved in a S-SE direction. Now my question is, can two plate move along each other in two different ways, i.e.: North and South, and if so, what is an example (where is it and what is the name)?
Why does the Hawaiian islands move toward the northwest direction?
The Hawaiian islands move toward the northwest direction because the plate that the islands are on is moves in that direction.
Why are there earthquakes in the region of pacific plate and north America plan despite the absence of volcanoes?
The Pacific plate is sliding past the North American plate.Both move in same direction, but the Pacific plate is moving faster.The result is earthquakes now and then-but no volcanoes.
What direction does the antarctic plate move?
The western and eastern sides of the Antarctic plate are currently moving away from each other.
How much does the Pacific plate move each year?
The pacific plate is moving in a northwesternly direction
Farthest placed in the south?
The South Pole. Move in any direction from the South Pole and you are moving north.
