We have
a) GPS measurements at different plates.
b) evidence from earthquakes: They are caused by movement at plate boundaries / Fault zones.
c) Evidence from geology (fault offsets)
It is no longer an idea for some time that plates are moving. It is a fact. Earthquakes and todays technology prove the fact that the earths plates are moving. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
Scientists believe that the plates are moving due to the evidence of seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges and the distribution of earthquakes along plate boundaries. Additionally, the study of paleomagnetism provides further support for the theory of plate tectonics.
Trenches form where plates are moving towards each other in a convergent plate boundary, not where they are moving apart. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, plates are moving apart, creating new crust.
A rift valley is evidence of a divergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement creates a gap in the Earth's crust, resulting in the formation of a rift valley.
Moving of tectonic plates causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges when plates collide or pull apart. These movements also contribute to the creation of ocean basins and continents over long periods of time.
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.

The fact that there are subduction zones where continental plates meet !
Worldwide, the mountains are the evidence of crustal plates.
Moving Gelatine Plates was created in 1968.
It is no longer an idea for some time that plates are moving. It is a fact. Earthquakes and todays technology prove the fact that the earths plates are moving. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
moving plates
Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.
No, both the continental and oceanic plates are always moving. Moving slowly, but always moving.
Volcanoes are ofrenda found in subduction
Divergent plates
Scientists believe that the plates are moving due to the evidence of seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges and the distribution of earthquakes along plate boundaries. Additionally, the study of paleomagnetism provides further support for the theory of plate tectonics.
