The one and only piece of evidence that the earth is still moving is earthquakes.If the earth wasn't moving then we wouldn't have earthquakes now would we.I'm not even a scientist.12 years old!Use your brain and imagination.That's how scientists predict things like the worlds going to end in 2012 this year.Do you really think they know that for a fact?They really don't.That calender probably ends on 2012 because the creators have probably been through something terrible 2000 years ago and restarted.Who knows.Maybe next year will be 0001 again.
The moon does not have tectonic plates like Earth, so it does not experience plate movement. However, there is evidence of past volcanic activity on the moon in the form of ancient lava flows and volcanic features. Currently, the moon is considered geologically inactive in terms of volcanic eruptions.
Tectonic plates are the moving pieces under the Earth's surface that form the Earth's crust. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other through processes like subduction, spreading, and collision, which contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface features.
Earth is geologically active with volcanoes, tectonic plates, and has a substantial atmosphere, moving water, and glaciers. These forces are constantly changing Earth's surface. Impact craters get eroded, buried, and outright erased. The moon has no significant geologic activity, no atmosphere, and no water. As a result craters on the moon can remain almost untouched for billions of years.
The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's surface is divided into several large and slow-moving plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates interact at their boundaries, leading to processes such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation. The movement of these plates has shaped the Earth's surface over millions of years.
There are around 15 major tectonic plates on Earth, as well as several smaller plates. These plates are constantly moving and interacting with each other, which is responsible for phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
No, the moon does not have moving plates like Earth. The moon does experience some tectonic activity, but it is not driven by plate movements. Instead, the moon's tectonic activity is mainly caused by its cooling and shrinking over time.

The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.

earth plates stop moving
Tectonic plates are the moving pieces under the Earth's surface that form the Earth's crust. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other through processes like subduction, spreading, and collision, which contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface features.
Continental drift is the theory that "plates" on the Earth are constantly in motion and have been for millions of years. Tectonic plates are the actual moving plates.
When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.
