Which describes the motion of the plates? The hanging wall and footwall both move vertically. Shearing is causing the plates to slide past each other. The hanging wall moves down in relation to the footwall. Compression is causing the plates to move toward each other.

Compression is causing the plates to move toward each other.

Explanation:

Plate motion is described through an angular velocity and a pole of rotation associated with this pole. A "tectonic plate" is referred to as a part of the "outer shell" of the Earth that tends to moves consistent as a rigid body in the absence of any significant "internal deformation" over specific geological timescales.
