Hey, sorry if this was not the answer you were seeking but your phrasing of the question was a little confusing. Anyway all tectonic plates are connected and there is a, shall we say 'equilibrium' between them as the rate of subduction of one plate is equal to the rate of growth of another, meaning there is always the same surface area of the earth. Anyway hope that helps.

Who do earth plates move?
The tectonic plates move because they are floating on magma. They jostle with each other and that's how you get tectonic movement, earthquakes, volcanoes and all that happy stuff.
Are all tectonic plates the same?
no
What do tectonic plates move?

What are the plates that make up Earth's crust?
Tectonic plates
What do tectonic plates form when they converge?
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
