what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
consist of large sections called tectonic plates, which move relative to each other.
The layer of the Earth that we live on is called the crust. It is the outermost solid shell of the Earth and is divided into pieces known as tectonic plates.
The Earth's land is collectively called the Earth's crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface where all the continents, mountains, and other landforms are located.

i don't think there is an particular name for it
They are called earthquakes.
The Earth's outer layer is called the Crust, and the crust is split into various types of tectonic plates.

Tectonic plates
The theory that explains how large pieces of Earth's outermost layer move around is called plate tectonics. This theory states that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move due to the convection currents in the mantle.
The hard outermost layer of the Earth is called crust.
Fault.
The outermost rigid layer of the Earth is called the lithosphere. It includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle and is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
