Cocos Plate is moving towards the north-east.
What direction is the pacific plate moving relative to the north American plate?
north-northwest
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.
Which plate is the North American plate moving towards?
The North American plate is generally moving westward towards the Pacific Plate. This movement is responsible for geological activities such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
How fast is the north America plate moving?
The North American plate is moving very slowly, only about one inch per year. Other tectonic plates are moving much faster; up to eight or nine inches per year.

Cocos Plate is moving towards the north-east.

Describe the relative motion between the north American plate and the pacific plate?
The Pacific Plate is currently being subducted under the North American Plate. Subduction zones are when one plate is being forced under another at a convergent boundary (where two plates collide). When the Pacific Plate is being subducted under the North American Plate, the crust of the Pacific Plate melts, and creates volcanoes along the edge of the North American Plate. So, the relative motion of the two plates is that they are converging, or moving together.This same process is happening at the South American and Nazca Plates.
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.
Which tectonic plate is moving away from the North American Plate?
The Eurasian Plate & The African Plate.
What is the direction of crustal movement of the Indian- Australian plate?
its moving to the right of Indian
Which plate is the North American plate moving towards?
The North American plate is generally moving westward towards the Pacific Plate. This movement is responsible for geological activities such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
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 fast is the north America plate moving?
The North American plate is moving very slowly, only about one inch per year. Other tectonic plates are moving much faster; up to eight or nine inches per year.
