It is moving to the west. As is the north American plate which will make the Atlantic Ocean bigger and the Pacific Ocean smaller.
What else can I help you with?
Why does plate tectonics take place?
because of the plates moving
What plates are involved in San Andreas fault?
The Pacific Plate and the North American Plate are involved in the San Andreas fault. The Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest grinding pass the North American Plate.
Why do most earthquakes happen?
earth quakes happen because of the fault line. Underneath the suface the plate are moving
What are movements of the earth crust and mantle called?
this is called tectonic plates moving, this causes earthquakes and if under water it's called a psunami
Which of these is an area around the Pacific Ocean where the Pacific plate is moving against several other tectonic plates?
Ring of Fire
What direction is the Cocos Plate moving?
Cocos Plate is moving towards the north-east.
What direction is the Caribbean plate moving?
northwest they are moving
What direction is cocos plate moving?
Cocos Plate is moving towards the north-east.
What direction does the pacific plate moving?
eastward
In which direction is the indo-australian plate moving?
The Indo-Australian plate moves Northeast as the Pacific Plate moves around it in a Northwest direction as if rotating.
What direction is North American plate moving?
roughly southwest
In which direction is the Juan De Fuca Plate moving?
The Juan De Fuca Plate is moving eastward and subducting beneath the North American Plate along the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
In which direction is the plate with the UK moving?
The tectonic plate that includes the UK, primarily the Eurasian Plate, is moving in a generally east-northeast direction. This movement is driven by the dynamics of plate tectonics, particularly the interaction with neighboring plates, such as the North American Plate and the African Plate. However, the movement is relatively slow, averaging a few centimeters per year.
What direction is the South American plate moving?
The South American plate is moving westward. This movement is in part due to the subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American plate along the west coast of South America.
What direction the pacific plate is moving?
The Pacific Plate is moving northwest. It is moving at a rate of about 10 cm (4 inches) per year in relation to the North American Plate. This movement creates tectonic activity along the plate boundaries, leading to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
How much does the Pacific plate move each year?
The pacific plate is moving in a northwesternly direction
What direction does the antarctic plate move?
The Antarctic Plate moves primarily in a northeasterly direction, away from the South Pole. It is one of the slowest moving tectonic plates, drifting at a rate of a few centimeters per year. The movement is driven by the process of seafloor spreading at the boundaries of the plate.
