4 inches per year
1,000 ft.
"apprx. five billion years" Is not even close. There are 63,360 inches in a mile. If Hawaii is moving 4 inches per year closer to Japan it would take 15,840 years for Hawaii to travel one mile. Japan is approximately 4,000 miles from Hawaii depending on what points you are measuring from and whether you ar talking natuical miles. The best approximation would be 63,360,000 years for Hawaii to reach Japan (This is asuming that Japan is not shifting either closer to or farther from Hawaii).
It has varied over the past. Present day it is moving roughly 7 centimeters a year.
Hawaii moves about 3 inches closer to Alaska each year
It is a string of islands known as an archipelago formed by volcanoes. The state gets 4 inches closer to Japan every year.
3,862 miles or 62i6 kilometers. you probly arent wondering, but i heard that Hawaii and Japan grow 2 inches closer every year
they look the same
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.

Oh, it does- perhaps not the change you were thinking of. Being as far South as it is, placing it closer to the equator, Hawaii does not experience the major tilt change of the continental states, and so does not have a hot/cold season, but they DO have a wet/dry season change.
The world's tectonic plates are ever changing moving by centermetres every year. This moves and changes continents of land moving them away or closer to each other.
Hawaii was never purchased.
