Tectonic plates move about the same rate that finger nails or your hair grows (centimeters per year). However, it varies from plate to plate. Some move at 3 centimeters while other's move around 6.
They move very slow! They move about about the rate your nails or your hair grows, but they vary from plate to plate. Some move only 2.5 cm per year and some move up to 15 cm per year. Hope I helped! :)
Both the Cocos and the Nazca plates of the eastern Pacific (near Central America are moving at up to 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 inches) yearly. The average speed of plate movements is much less, around 1 to 4 cm per year.
All the tectonic plates move at between 2cm and 10cm per year. For example the African plate is moving at 2.5 cm/year in a northwest direction. It varies between plates but is generally within these speeds.
About 2 to 5 centimeters per year (1 to 2 inches per year), about the same speed that your fingernails grow. We know, then, that the outermost part of Earth consists of a series of large slabs (tectonic plates; lithospheric plates) that move slowly over the globe, powered by flow in the interior mantle.
tectonic plates mover SUPER SLOW usually on a couple of centimeters a year
I was told about as fast as your fingernail grows. I could be wrong though. :)
This varies from plate to plate. Some move at about the speed your fingernails grow, some much faster.
1-2 inches a year
2.5 centimeters per year
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
The plates move slowly. Three centimeters a year.

The definition of Lithospheric Plate is:) Lithospheric plates are regions of Earth's crust and upper mantle that are fractured into plates that move across a deeper plasticine mantle. Also Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm has nothing to do with it.

bruh
Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
Aesthenosphere
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL

Yes.
2.5 centimeters per year
Continental Plates
The plates move slowly. Three centimeters a year.
Its denity Differences
Lithospheric plates, which also are called tectonic plates, move towards or away from each other when an earthquake occurs.
