NZ is relatively stationary, since it is riding up on top of a plate that is subducting under it from the north.
The answer is Tectonic Plates

Long crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
Its more ov a movement really not a process. Tectonic plates move due to convection currents in the mantle.
The answer is Tectonic Plates
No(see the explanation of the question "Why do the tectonic plates move?"
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
yes the plates can move slowly
Tectonic plates move thousands of miles because they are not anchored down.
Tectonic plates move from east to west as a whole due to the coreolis (not sure of spelling) effect.

Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
earthquake zone or in the boundry of tectonic plates
Magma moving underneath the earth causes tectonic plates to move about.
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
