Yes. New ocean crust is being formed at the mid ocean ridges (MORs) resulting in the older crust being pushed farther away, moving the plates towards a subduction zone. MORs divide 2 plates.
Subduction
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics. The geological theory is called plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics.
The rocks at Lake Mead provide evidence for the theory of plate tectonics through their diverse geological features and formations, which reflect the tectonic history of the region. For instance, the presence of fault lines, such as those associated with the Basin and Range Province, illustrates the effects of extensional tectonics, where the Earth's crust is being pulled apart. Additionally, the variety of rock types and their arrangement can be linked to past tectonic processes, including subduction and continental rifting, supporting the dynamic nature of Earth's crust as described by plate tectonics.

But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.

earth's crust is broken in 12 pieces that constantly moves

The tectonic plates consist of crust and the outermost part of the mantle.
