No force makes the Earth move. It has enough momentum to continue moving through space.

What two tectonic forces keep the earth the same size?
None. The Earth remains the same size because it does not lose or add material (except for meteorites, which are negligable. Tectonic forces move the -parts- of the Earth around, moving the water out of the way as needed, but nothing is added to or taken from the Earth's size.
Why is the moon moving all the time?
Earth's gravity forces the moon into an orbit
What two forces keep the moon and all other satellites in orbit around earth?
Gravity and Inertia
What is the two things that keep the earth in its orbit around the sun?
Nitrogen levels and surface radiation.
Why a skydiver falls towards earth even when he is under the influence of balance forces?
"Balanced forces" doesn't mean that an object doesn't move. "Balanced forces" means that the vector sum of forces on an object is zero. Now, according to Newton's First Law, if no force is acting on an object, if that object is at rest it will continue being at rest; if it is moving, it will continue moving with the same velocity. In other words, there will be no CHANGE in velocity; that doesn't mean that the velocity must necessarily be zero.
How do planets in the solar system keep moving?
An object has a general tendency to keep moving - that's how our Universe works. No force is required to keep an object moving - unless there is another force that slows it down. Here on Earth, there are usually frictional forces that slow objects down, and therefore a force is required to counteract the frictional forces.
What is the tendency of a moving object when no forces act on it?
To keep moving in a straight line. This is rather hard to show because the gravitational pull of the Earth is hard to escape without a rocket.
What natural forces keep water moving?
gravity
When forces are not balanced an object may keep object moving forever true or false?
That's true. Plus ... even if the forces on an object are BALANCED, it can keep moving forever.
What two tectonic forces keep the earth the same size?
None. The Earth remains the same size because it does not lose or add material (except for meteorites, which are negligable. Tectonic forces move the -parts- of the Earth around, moving the water out of the way as needed, but nothing is added to or taken from the Earth's size.
When forces are not balanced an object keep moving forever?
As long as the forces remain the same or do not change direction
What other forces shaped the earth's crust?
slow moving plate tectonics
Why is the moon moving all the time?
Earth's gravity forces the moon into an orbit
Why earth is in motion and what external force is acting upon it?
If something is moving, no force is required for that something to continue moving. That doesn't mean there are no forces acting on Earth; for example, the Sun attracts Earth towards it. But that's not what keeps the Earth moving.
Do inertia pull the moon towards the earth?
No, inertia is trying to keep the moon moving in a straight line, which would be away from Earth. Gravity is pulling the moon towards Earth. The result when these two forces are combined is the moon maintaining a constant orbit of Earth.
What forces enable an object to be in motion?
If an object is moving, no force is required to keep it moving. Forces are required to CHANGE its motion, for example, to speed it up, or to slow it down.
Why are balanced forces important in a tennis game?
Because your legs keep moving
