Simply there is a coordinate system like latitude & longitude-that is called altitude (up down ) & azimuth (across)
An EQ mount does not sit flat though but is inclined to the sth or nth pole in the sky (SCP or ncp), when you move the two axis you are moving the eq mount in a diff coord system called ra & dec- you are moving it in an arc to locate the angle you want in the sky
