Depending on what you are asking if your asking why it shifts like what happen in Japan then that would be earthquakes or sometimes erosion.
If you were talking about something else then i would say that the land is not moving but that we are because the earth is rotating on it's axis and is going in an oval shaped orbit around the sun.
