Why are the plates moving in different directions?

Answer:

The sinking oceanic lithosphere drags the rest of the tectonic plate and this is the main cause of plate motion. Oceanic lithosphere is therefore pulled apart in several directions: that process creates the mid-ocean ridges where new, hot and light oceanic crust is created.
