What force makes two plates jerk into a new position?

The force responsible for making two tectonic plates jerk into a new position is typically the release of built-up stress along a fault line, resulting in an earthquake. This sudden movement is known as fault slippage and can occur from the accumulation of strain over time due to the slow motion of the plates against each other. This sudden release of energy causes the plates to move and can result in seismic activity.
