If the Pacific plate stopped moving, the island of Hawaii would probably keep forming if the hot spot is still there. Hawaii can also become dormant because if the Pacific plate stopped moving, the islands would stop, too, and the convection currents would, too. Then there will be no active volcanoes.
The three active volcanoes, Hualālai, Mauna Loa, and Kīlauea, would likely continue to errupt. Being shield volcaoes, the island of Hawai'i would continue to grow, eventually enveloping the other islands and forming one large island.

∙ 11y agoIf the pacific plates continue to move it will form another Pangaea ,it is the moving of plates which formed all the continents if happens again the continents could form a super continent or drift further apart .

Is Washington going to have a big tsunami?
It will probably happen eventually. This is a plate boundary just of the cause that could trigger an earthquake and tsunami, but there's no telling when it will happen. Other areas along the Pacific could produce a tsunami that would reach Washington
What would happen on earth that would not happen on mars because there are no plate movements there?
I am not entirely sure but some events would be earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. There would be no way these things could happen without the movement of plates.
How many years would the plate under the Pacific ocean take to move 36 inches?
It will take 20 years.
What kind of Plate boundary is in japan?
Japan is at the meeting place of four tectonic plates: The Pacific Plate, The Eurasian Plates, The Philippine Plate, and the Okhotsk Plate (sometimes considered part of the North American Plate).
Can thunder cause an earthquake?
no, only if the plate tectonics move than yes there will be an earthquake they say that once a year the plate tectonics move a Milicent. and that would be a cause for a earthequake to happen.
What will happen if war continues?
if the world continues everyone would die
What would happen if the thinning of ozone continues?
If the thinning continues, UV will enter the earth. There will be no life left.
What would happen if high birth rate continues?
if birth rate continues our world will become over populated!

What plate are the parts of the US on that aren't on the North American plate?
The parts of the US that aren't on the North American plate are on the Pacific Plate.That would be Hawaii and parts of California.
What would happen if a tectonic plate would go under the other?
A chain reaction would happen causing either a vocano and/or an earthquake
What would happen if pollution continues to effect your sealife?
Bad things,like bad monsters
What would the ocean floor look like if plate tectonics did not happen?
Seamounts
Do the Plates include the lithosphere under the ocean?
Yes, several of the plates have their margins under the oceans. The Pacific Plate would be the plate with the largest area under the seas.
What would happen if a glass plate is replaced by a plane mirror?
You would no longer be able to see through it.
What would happen on earth that would not happen on mars because there are no plate movements there?
I am not entirely sure but some events would be earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. There would be no way these things could happen without the movement of plates.
What plate collision would most likely happen in a subduction zone?
A subductive collision.
