Plates go from east to west
they move away form each other, so what ever the direction the plates are the move the apposite direction away
No, tectonic plates move in different directions and at different rates. This movement is driven by the convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Plates can move towards each other (convergent), away from each other (divergent), or slide past each other (transform).
If two plates crashed into each other two possible things can happen: 1 The plates bump into each other and can cause an earthquake. 2 The plates crash, then they go upwards to form a mountain or a volcano. ~Doraexplorer
Plates slide past each other at transform boundaries. These boundaries occur when two plates slide horizontally in opposite directions parallel to each other. The movement can be either in the same direction but at different speeds, or in opposite directions.
The continents move by continental dirt which was hypothosized by Alfred Wegener who was dis-resepcted back then because people though it was impossible for the continents and plates to move. But, Wegener was right and he became very famous for discovering Pangaea which is German for "super-continent" , they my also be moved by earthquakes and other natural disasters.
it just means the plates that touch each other are closest to that place.

At a convergent boundary, plates move towards each other.
Tectonic plates move from east to west as a whole due to the coreolis (not sure of spelling) effect.
The North American and Pacific plates are sliding past each other in a more or less north-south direction.
No, tectonic plates move in different directions and at different rates. This movement is driven by the convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Plates can move towards each other (convergent), away from each other (divergent), or slide past each other (transform).
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.

No, tectonic plates move in different directions. Some plates move towards each other (convergent boundaries), some move away from each other (divergent boundaries), and others slide past each other horizontally (transform boundaries).
Normally when two plates pass each other they create earthquakes and faults. When two plates pass each other the type of boundary the have is called a Transform Boundary.
