Plates can jam due to several factors, including improper alignment, debris or foreign objects obstructing movement, and wear or damage to mechanical components. Additionally, insufficient lubrication can lead to increased friction, causing plates to stick together. Environmental factors, such as temperature and humidity, may also affect the materials involved, further contributing to jamming. Regular maintenance and proper handling are essential to prevent these issues.
Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.

When the plates underground ( not the eating plates ) collide it causes what we call a tremor or simply an earthquake. This can also happen underwater but we call it a tsunami.
