How fast do plates move in relation to each other?
Plate tectonics describes the motions of the 15 to 20 large rigid and brittle tectonicplates into ... It does a good job at explaining the distribution of most of Earth's earthquakes, mountains and other geological features, and a ... The North Americanplate is moving to the west-southwest at about 2.3 cm (~1 inch) per year
What is relative wind speed?
Relative for starters means exact or close to. Wind Speed is how fast the air is blowing. It other words, this would mean an estimate or exact measurement to the Wind Speed.
How fast does the lithosphere move?
The lithosphere moves at a rate of about 1 to 10 centimeters per year. This movement is due to processes like plate tectonics, where tectonic plates on the Earth's surface shift and interact with each other.
Is the world spinning really fast right now?
Really fast is a relative term. But at the equator, relative to the other bodies in the solar system, the earth is moving at a rate a little greater than 1000 miles per hour. Most would consider that really fast.
How do earthquakes build up?
The shifting of the Earths Techtonic Plates is what causes earthquakes. The earths crust is floating on top of a layer of magma. When two of earths techtonic plates shift and rub up against eachother, they get caught, because they are rigid, not smooth. When they finally get uncaught, they move very fast and that is what causes the shaking, as does the rubbing up against eachother.
How fast do the plates move in relation to each other each year?
The earth's plates move slowly because how big the earthquake is he bigger the amount the plates will move and the slower the earthquake is the less it moves.
How fast do the plates move in the relation to each other year?
The earth's plates move slowly because how big the earthquake is he bigger the amount the plates will move and the slower the earthquake is the less it moves.
How far do plates shift each year?
plates move around the speed of how fast your nails grow
About how fast do the plates move in relation to each others each year?
The earth's plates move slowly because how big the earthquake is he bigger the amount the plates will move and the slower the earthquake is the less it moves.
The Nazca and Pacific Plates are separating faster than any other places on Earth How fast are they moving apart each year?
About 15 cm.
How fast do the plates move to relation to each other?
This varies from plate to plate. Some move at about the speed your fingernails grow, some much faster.
Why can't two capacitor plates be far away from each other if it's really just the battery creating the potential difference between the plates?
Capacitance is directly proportional to the area of the plates divided by the distance between the two plates. The farther away the plates are the lower capacitance will be. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between the two plates. If those plates are very far apart, the field gets crappy real fast.
How fast do plates move in an earthquake?
pretty fast
How fast does a chamois reproduce?
By mating with each other
Why are the plates near Haiti moving so fast?
They aren't moving faster than other plates, they actually weren't moving because of a snag between the two that gave way and caused an earthquake.
How fast slow do the plates move?
1To 2 inches
The sun's heat causes atoms to move so fast that they crash into each other?
Yes... yes it does. For that matter, the Earth's heat causes some atoms to move so fast that they "crash into each other."
