The force behind tectonic plates coming together is typically caused by the process of subduction, where one plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density and composition. This subduction zone creates a convergent boundary, leading to the collision and eventual uplift of the Earth's crust.
The earth's plates move in all directions: up, down, and sideways. That's why we have mountains and subsidances and earthquakes and volcanoes and all sorts of stuff!
Volcanoes are created by the movement of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface. When two tectonic plates collide or move apart, magma from the mantle rises to the surface, eventually erupting through a volcano. Additionally, hotspots, subduction zones, and rift zones can also contribute to the formation of volcanoes.
Earthquakes and volcano activity occurs at the boundaries or edges of the tectonic plates.
Well, seismic plates are like puzzle pieces that make up the Earth's outer shell. They float on the hot, molten layer underneath, moving ever so slowly over time. When these plates shift and grind against each other, they can cause earthquakes, reminding us of the constant, gentle dance of our planet.
Tectonic movement. The outer crust of the Earth is made up of huge masses called plates. These plates are actually floating on the molten rock (magma) underneath them. (Magma is the stuff that spews out of erupting volcanoes) When tectonic plates temporarily get stuck against eachother and then suddenly release, we experience an earthquake.
Earth's tectonic plates move due to the heat-driven convective flow of mantle material beneath them. This process creates forces that push and pull the plates, causing them to move around the Earth's surface.

A convergent boundary can form between two plates and a divergent boundary can be created between two plates, then two plates rubbing together create earthquakes, many are very minor. A convergent boundary is two plates pushing together to form a mountain, hill, or volcano. Divergent plates move apart and create canyons and stuff.
Convection currents in the mantle cause the movement of tectonic plates. Heat from the Earth's core creates rising currents of molten mantle material, which pushes the plates apart at mid-ocean ridges. As the plates cool, they sink back into the mantle at subduction zones, completing the cycle of plate movement driven by convection currents.

They are plates, and they move around, and they shake and stuff.
The section of the lithosphere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere carrying pieces of continental and oceanic crust is known as a tectonic plate. These plates are part of the Earth's outer shell and are divided into several major and minor plates that interact with each other at plate boundaries. The movement of these plates is driven by the heat generated from the Earth's core, causing them to either converge, diverge, or slide past each other, leading to various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
if they mess with somebody like pushes them and that kind of stuff
It pushes stuff, when someone passes right beside you running, wind will push you. It doesn't really push you but that is how you feel the cold wind. So it pushes stuff when you push them lol

The ground you are standing on, i.e. the surface of a planet.
