How far is the Nazca plate from the east pacific rise?
No distance at all. The East Pacific Rise marks the western edge of the Nazca Plate.
What plates are on either side of the east pacific rise?
The pacific plate on both sides
What is the boundary type between pacific plate and the nazca plate?
At the western edge of the Nazca plate and the eastern edge of the Pacific plate lies the East Pacific Rise. The East Pacific Rice is known as a mid-ocean ridge, formed from a divergent boundary.
Is the pacific plate the largest plate?
The plate boundary at the East Pacific Ridge(Rise) is a diverging boundary. Ridges usually occur where two boundaries are diverging(seperating, or spreading apart, thus creating a ridge. -Textbo7
What tectonic plate does Hawaii sit on?
Hawaii is situated broadly in the centre of the Pacific plate. It has volcanoes because it sits on a particularly thin part of that plate which allows for magma from below the plate to rise and come to the surface.
