Yes, they do. Why? Because they can't remain static forever. Assuming they were ever static (motionless) with relation to one another (an assumption that is NOT true), they would start to move, eventually, due to their gravitatioal force on one another.

Why don't the stars bump each other when they move?
They dont move.
A Fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
Fault.
What effect does subduction and sea floor spreading have on the earth's surface?
It allows the continents to move relative to each other.
How fast do plates move relative to each other?
The plates move relative to each other in varying speeds. The Pacific plate moves against the North American plate at 5 cm/yr. The Arctic Ridge has the slowest rate at less than 2.5 cm/yr., while the East Pacific Rise has the fastest rate at more than 15 cm/yr.
What is the fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
The fracture along blocks of crust (tectonic plates) is called a "fault" or "fault line".
How can stars remain in the same position in the sky?
Stars all appear to revolve around the sky each day as the Earth revolves, but relative to each other the stars stay 'fixed'. That is because they are so distant it takes years for any of them to move appreciably.
Why don't the stars bump each other when they move?
They dont move.
A Fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
Fault.
What is a break in the crust where rock bodies move relative to each other?
A fault.
The fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
A fault
Break in earths crust where pieces of the crust move relative to each other?
A fault.
What is the definition of a movable joint?
Two parts that are joined, but can move relative to each other.
What is the boundary between plates where relative motion can cause a quake called?
the large sections of the earth's crust that move relative to each other
What are the crust and lithosphere?
It consist of large sections called tectonic plates, which move relative to each other.
Are stars in the constellation physically close to each other?
No, they are not. They are in lines of sight which are close to each other and they are all so far away that they do not appear to move very much relative to one another. But in most constellations some stars are likely to by hundreds, if not millions, of times as far away than the nearest stars.
What force is created whenever two touching surfaces move past each other?
Friction. When they move it is dynamic friction. If they are not moving relative to each other then it is static friction.
What effect does subduction and sea floor spreading have on the earth's surface?
It allows the continents to move relative to each other.
