What are plate boundary zone?
A plate tectonic zone is where two plates collide and cause the ground to move. Living in a plate tectonic zone can be very dangerous and there is many hazards such as erupting volcanoes and many earthquakes...
How far does the South American plate move a year?
3 inches
How much does the earth's crust move per year a few mm or a few meters?
A few mm (millimeters), up to a few cm (centimeters). It takes decades, or even centuries, for a tectonic plate to move a meter.In English measurements, the largest plate movements average not much more than one or two inches a year.
How far does the Indo-Australian plate move each year?
2-5cm.
How does the African plate move and how did it come to its current location?
the two tectonic plates move toward each other. This tectonic action is called a convergent plate boundary. The heavier plate slides under the lighter plate causing the magma or heated rock to move upward. That magma finds a crevice in the earth's crust and a volcano is formed. In this case Mt. Vesuvius which destroyed Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabia in AD 79.
How are the movements of plates at divergent boundaries and sliding boundaries similar?
There are three kinds of plate boundaries:spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. The platea move at amazing show rates, from about 1 to 24 centimeters per year. Thet have been moving for tens of millions of years.

How far do plate tectonics move in one year?
the plate move about three inches a year. :P
How many centimeters does a plate move?
There is insufficient information for us to even begin to understand this question. Please edit the question to include more context or relevant information. Information about which plate - dinner plate, dental plate, continental/tectonic plate, other plate might be useful!
How fast does the Australian plate move?
About 6cm a year.
How many plate tectonics move in a year?
Penis

A How many millimeters does the Antarctic plate move in 1 year?
Movement varies at different points on the continent, but the average absolute movement is estimated at around 20 millimeters per year.
How Does a plate move on the earths surface?
A few centimeters a year.
How much does the Pacific plate move each year?
The pacific plate is moving in a northwesternly direction
It takes 100 000years for a plate to move about 14 kilometers calculate the rate if plate motion?
If it takes 100 000 years for a plate to move about 14 kilometers, the rate of the plate motion is 0.00014 km/year.
