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.
They "converge" that is move towards each other.
Convergent Boundary.
convergent plate boundaries
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.

Convergent boundary Convergent boundary
as the plates move towards each other the denser plate subducts into the asthenphere
They don't move in a specific direction. Every plate moves in it's own direction and sometimes they can change directions.
