they move because its due to the magma and they move to form things etc.....
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
The earth's plates move slowly because how big the earthquake is he bigger the amount the plates will move and the slower the earthquake is the less it moves.
They move at centimeters per year.

The plates move only a few centimeters a year, and the change is not quick or immediate.
5 centimeters.
No, oceanic plates move faster than continental plates. This is due to the density of the oceanic plates (basalt is denser). For example, the fastest moving plates are the Pacific plate, Cocos plate, and Nazca plate. All oceanic.
plates move around the speed of how fast your nails grow
The rate at which plates move is typically between 1 cm to 12 cm per year. This movement is due to the process of plate tectonics where the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement of these plates can result in various geological events such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
5 centimeters per year
2.5 centimeters per year
