How can something as massive as the pacific plate move?
I don't know but it is convection

How much did the pacific plate move in the Japanese earthquake?
It varied, but some parts of the Pacific plate slipped as much as 80 feet during the earthquake in March 2011.
What do pieces of oceanic crust do during sea floor spreading?
they move apart along a divergent plate boundary
What is the sections of the earth that move about and cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
They are called tectonic plates. There are : Eurasian Plate, Arabian Plate, African Plate, South American Plate, Caribbean Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, Philippine Plate, Indo-Australian Plate and the Antarctic Plate.
If the pacific plate continues to move along the san Andreas Fault what might happento Baja California?
Parts of it will end up further North.

The pacific plate is moving in a northwesternly direction

Can a transform plate boundary slide along each other in two different directions?
In Earth Science today, we learned that a transform curstal plate margin are created when ttwo crustal plates move along each other. Our teacher told us that it seems they move in two different directions (the San Andreas Fault) because the Pacific Plate moves faster than the North American Plate. It is observed by the displacement of the rocks, the oceanic rocks (Pacific Plate) move in a N-NW direction, and the crustal rocks (North American Plates) also did move in a N-NW direction, but at a slower rate, making it look like they moved in a S-SE direction. Now my question is, can two plate move along each other in two different ways, i.e.: North and South, and if so, what is an example (where is it and what is the name)?

Why are there earthquakes in the region of pacific plate and north America plan despite the absence of volcanoes?
The Pacific plate is sliding past the North American plate.Both move in same direction, but the Pacific plate is moving faster.The result is earthquakes now and then-but no volcanoes.
Plates move together along?
convergent plate boundaries
What do plates move apart along on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
What do pieces of oceanic crust do during sea floor spreading?
they move apart along a divergent plate boundary
