What is the ditance tectonic plates move per year?
the continents move at about the rate of your fingernail or 5cm. per year
How much do plates move in a 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.
Does earth's plates move only a few meters per year or centimeters per year?
Tectonic plates are actually constantly moving, albeit very slowly. On an average the plates move only two and a half inches per year.
Approximately how fast do the convection currents in the mantle move the plates above them?
Inches Per Year :-)
