Asthenosphere
tectonic plates
The Earth's plates move due to the high pressure of the hot earth's core jostling them around
There are around 15 minor tectonic plates in the Earth's crust, in addition to the major plates. These minor plates contribute to the overall movement and interaction of Earth's tectonic plates.
If you mean for the plates that are the earth's crust they are called 'Tectonic Plates'.
The movement of lithospheric plates is primarily driven by the process of plate tectonics, which is caused by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. As the hot material rises and cooler material sinks in the mantle, it creates forces that push and pull the plates, causing them to move over the surface of the Earth. This movement can result in phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
Subduction
tectonic plates
First of all, there is no location of plate techtonics! Plate techtonics is the theory that Earth's crust and part of the upper mantle are broken into sections. These sections (plates) move on a plasticlike layer of the mantle.
earth plates can and do collide, even though the earth rotates around the sun
