It varies. North America and Europe separate by about 7.5 cm (3 inches) per year. India continues to slam into Asia roughly 6 cm per year.

How many inches per year are the continents moving apart?

0.75inches a year


Are the continents moving?

Yes, the continents are constantly moving due to plate tectonics. The movement is very slow, usually a few centimeters per year, but over millions of years, it has resulted in the shifting positions of the continents on Earth's surface.


At which speed are continents moving?

1 to 10 cm per year, it is not a continuous motion though.


Are that earth continents still moving today?

Yes, Earth's continents are still moving today due to plate tectonics. This movement is very slow, with continents drifting at a rate of a few centimeters per year. The movement of continents causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.


Do the continents move or stay still?

Continents are moving slightly almost all the time (from the plates moving) they do stay still at some points (how do you think continents formed from the supercontinent pangaea? They moved from multiple different events such as ocean currents and plates moving)


How much do the continents move per year?

they move about the same time it takes for your nails to grow per year, which is about 6 cm.


How much do continents move per year?

Continents move about 2-5 centimeters per year due to the process of plate tectonics. This movement is caused by the sliding and shifting of tectonic plates along the Earth's crust. Over millions of years, this movement can lead to significant changes in the positions of continents on the planet.


What causes the Atlantic ocean to widen one to three inche per year?

the techtonic plates are shifting (the continents are moving away from each other)


Are the continents continually moving?

Yes, the continents are continually moving due to plate tectonics. The movement is very slow, with continents shifting at a rate of a few centimeters per year. This movement can lead to earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of new landforms over millions of years.


How much do continents move each year?

Continents move at an average rate of about 2-5 centimeters per year due to the process of plate tectonics. This movement is caused by the shifting of tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust.


How much the continents are drifting each year?

The continents drift at a rate of about 2 to 5 centimeters per year due to plate tectonics. This movement is caused by the slow motion of Earth's tectonic plates.


How much are Europe and north America moving apart per year?
