The rate of movement of a lithospheric plate will change as the resistance in the path of convection is increased or decreased because of the types of convergent collisions.
The movement of tectonic plates has created all of the continents by moving apart. Mountain ranges were formed by the plates running into each other.
No
Their rate of movement is broadly between approximately 1 and 10 cm/year
Scientists use a network of satellites called the global positioning system to measure the rate of tectonic plate movement
the continents move at about the rate of your fingernail or 5cm. per year
The movement of tectonic plates has created all of the continents by moving apart. Mountain ranges were formed by the plates running into each other.
The average rate of movement of tectonic plates per year is roughly one to two inches. Individual parts of interacting plates can move more than several feet during earthquakes. Over large time spans, tectonic plates can move to all parts of the globe.
No
Their rate of movement is broadly between approximately 1 and 10 cm/year
Hey, sorry if this was not the answer you were seeking but your phrasing of the question was a little confusing. Anyway all tectonic plates are connected and there is a, shall we say 'equilibrium' between them as the rate of subduction of one plate is equal to the rate of growth of another, meaning there is always the same surface area of the earth. Anyway hope that helps.

This question depends on which plates you're talking about. Tectonic plates move in different directions and have different rates of movement. For example, the Nazca plate is moving eastward at 13.4 cm per year, but the most southern edge of the African plate is only moving northeast at 1.4 cm per year.
