Restless tectonic plates move (shift) between one and fifteen centimeters per year. This movement occurs due to the convection currents in the Earth's mantle, which drive the plates apart or push them together. The shifting of these plates can lead to geological events such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges over time. Understanding this movement is crucial for assessing seismic risks and the dynamics of Earth's geology.
