if you are talking about earthquakes then its all about tectonic plates. The force of two plates get to much so one of the plates slide under the other forming an earthquake.
At convergent boundaries, plates do not slide past each other. Instead, they move towards each other and collide or subduct under one another. This collision or subduction process is what characterizes convergent plate boundaries.
It is known as subduction.
They move all the time due to convection streams. When they bump to each other a lot of tension occours. And when finally on or the other plate gives in the slide goes over or under the other plate. Did that answer to your guestion?
Plates just move around, sometimes they go under each other ( when two plates collide, convergence), or they move apart(divergence), or slide past each other(transform). Somehow there is enough space. Who wrote ' in the dishwasher'?

When oceanic plates collide and slide under continental plates, they can form volcanic mountain ranges called continental volcanic arcs. These arcs result from the melting of the descending oceanic plate, which then feeds magma to the Earth's surface. Examples include the Andes in South America and the Cascades in North America.
Land plates are called continental plates. Sea plates are called oceanic plates.
Subduction zones are formed when oceanic plates slide beneath continental plates. The process leads to the oceanic plate being forced into the Earth's mantle. This can result in the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic activity at the surface.
