Tectonic plates are large pieces of the Earth's crust which float on the mantle and very slowly move because of gravity and the effects of 'slab pull' as old, dense oceanic crust descends into the mantle. This has caused the continents to change their locations over a period of hundreds of millions of years.
For many years, the tectonic plates have been shifting locations. They shift, slowly at times along plate boundaries. At some plate boundaries they are subducted into the mantle, and at others they collide and form mountains. So think of it like this, the Earth is a big jigsaw puzzle; tectonic plates are the pieces; and they are always in motion.
the process of tectonic movement is earthquakes
The movement of one tectonic plate under another occurs at convergent boundaries. For example, at this boundary denser oceanic crust slides under the lighter continental crust.
The movement of tectonic plates is part of the process known as plate tectonics.

Tectonic plate movement.
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.
