What direction is the Cocos Plate moving?
Cocos Plate is moving towards the north-east.
What direction is the pacific plate moving relative to the north American plate?
north-northwest
What Are Two Plates Moving Past Each Other?
The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of two plates moving past each other: the Pacific Plate is moving northwest relative to the North American Plate. This lateral motion along the fault line can cause earthquakes.
What is the direction of the North American plate moving?
The North American plate is moving westward at a speed of about 2.3 centimeters per year. This movement is primarily driven by the underlying mantle convection currents and the interactions with neighboring plates along plate boundaries.

Which tectonic plate is moving away from the North American Plate?
The Eurasian Plate & The African Plate.
What direction is the pacific plate moving relative to the north American plate?

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.
What direction is North American plate moving?
roughly southwest
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.
What direction is the afrian plate moving?
It is moving to the west. As is the north American plate which will make the Atlantic Ocean bigger and the Pacific ocean smaller.
Is the north American plate growing shrinking or both?
The North American Plate is neither growing nor shrinking. It is a tectonic plate that is constantly moving due to the forces of plate tectonics, which include both divergence and convergence along its boundaries.
