How fast are the North American and Eurasian plates moving apart?
The North American and Eurasian plates are moving apart at a rate of about 2.5 centimeters per year at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This movement is part of the process of seafloor spreading, where new oceanic crust is created at divergent plate boundaries.
How is gps used to show sea floor spreading and plates moving?
GPS receivers on different plates can measure the rate and direction of movement, which helps in monitoring plate tectonics. By placing receivers on the seafloor along mid-ocean ridges, scientists can track the spreading of the seafloor and movement of plates in real-time. This data provides valuable insights into the dynamics of plate motion and helps in understanding sea floor spreading.
About how fast do plates move?
Tectonic plates typically move at a rate of a few centimeters per year, similar to the speed at which human fingernails grow. This movement occurs due to the convection currents in the Earth's mantle. While some plates may move faster, the average rate is generally between 1 to 10 centimeters annually.
How fast were the plates moving?
4 to 6 cm per year
How fast is the Atlantic sea floor spreading?
i calculated about .75 inches per year but others have said about 2.2 inches a year to put 2.2 inches per year into perspective, your fingernails grow about the same speed

What is a simile for fast?
as fast as a cheetah running from extinction
