No, the moon does not have moving plates like Earth. The moon does experience some tectonic activity, but it is not driven by plate movements. Instead, the moon's tectonic activity is mainly caused by its cooling and shrinking over time.

Why does the moon seem to move as you move?
The moon appears to move in the sky as you move because of its position relative to the Earth. As you change your viewpoint by moving, the angle at which you see the moon changes, causing it to appear to shift its position in the sky. In reality, the moon is staying in its orbit around the Earth.
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
What is the path of the moon moving around the earth called?
The orbit of the moon.
Is the moon always moving?
yes
Why is the moon moving all the time?
Earth's gravity forces the moon into an orbit
Does the moon have moving plates or active volcano's?
The moon does not have tectonic plates like Earth, so it does not experience plate movement. However, there is evidence of past volcanic activity on the moon in the form of ancient lava flows and volcanic features. Currently, the moon is considered geologically inactive in terms of volcanic eruptions.
When was Moving Gelatine Plates created?
Moving Gelatine Plates was created in 1968.
What is another word for tectonic plates?
moving plates
What causes plates to stop moving temporarily?
Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.
Do the continental plates remain in one place?
No, both the continental and oceanic plates are always moving. Moving slowly, but always moving.
What are two plates moving away known as?
Divergent plates
Does Mercury's moon have tectonic plates?
Mercury does not have a moon.
What happens when two continental plates?
If the plates are moving together from opposite directions, the colliding edges will uplift into mountain ranges. If the plates are moving apart, a rift valley will form. If the plates are moving together at oblique angles, a fault zone will occur.
What are the kind of large plates of earth that keep moving?
tectonic plates?
Why does the moon appear to be following the car when it's moving?
The moon isn't really moving, the car is just moving around the moon.
Do trenches occur where plates are moving apart?
Trenches form where plates are moving towards each other in a convergent plate boundary, not where they are moving apart. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, plates are moving apart, creating new crust.
What are plates techonics?
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
