can we feel plate movement when there isn’t an earthquake?

No, humans cannot feel the movement of tectonic plates when there isn’t an earthquake. Plate movement is a continuous and very slow process, generally occurring at rates of a few centimeters per year, which is imperceptible to human senses. We only feel the sudden, rapid shifts during earthquakes when the built-up stress in the Earth's crust is released abruptly. Outside of such significant seismic events, the gradual movement is too slow and smooth to be felt.
