Answer:
The Earth is also in motion as it orbits the Sun, and we experience this movement as the seasons change. We don't feel the movement as the Earth spins and rotates, but we know it is happening. Far underneath the ground we walk on, the Earth is covered with tectonic plates.

Tectonic plates
Explanation:
- The lithosphere is made up of plates that float and travel independently over the mantle. The seismic activities occur at the boundaries of these plates.
- We do not feel the continents movement because they are moving at very slow rate. 2.5 cm per year. The maximum speed is of Indian ocean plate with 5-6 cm per year. This speed is similar to growth of your fingernails.
- That is why the movement of tectonic plates do not cause any tremors.
