The Pacific Plate moves at an average rate of about 2-9 cm per year in a west-northwest direction. The Philippine Plate moves at a rate of about 6-10 cm per year in a west-northwest direction as well. These two tectonic plates interact along the Philippine Trench and Philippine Fault Zone.
Probably the pacific Plate. The permanent hot spots are revealed by chains of volcanic islands. The chain itself reveals the direction the plate is moving.
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.
The Pacific Plate is one of the largest tectonic plates on Earth, covering the Pacific Ocean floor. It is currently moving in a northwesterly direction at a rate of a few centimeters per year. The movement of the Pacific Plate is responsible for creating many geological features such as the Ring of Fire and causing earthquakes and volcanic activity in the region.
Nazca
eastward
The Indo-Australian plate moves Northeast as the Pacific Plate moves around it in a Northwest direction as if rotating.
The pacific plate is moving in a northwesternly direction
It is moving to the west. As is the north American plate which will make the Atlantic Ocean bigger and the Pacific ocean smaller.
The Pacific plate is sliding past the North American plate.Both move in same direction, but the Pacific plate is moving faster.The result is earthquakes now and then-but no volcanoes.
north-northwest
The Pacific and Cocos plate.
The Pacific Plate moves at an average rate of about 2-9 cm per year in a west-northwest direction. The Philippine Plate moves at a rate of about 6-10 cm per year in a west-northwest direction as well. These two tectonic plates interact along the Philippine Trench and Philippine Fault Zone.
Cocos Plate is moving towards the north-east.
Probably the pacific Plate. The permanent hot spots are revealed by chains of volcanic islands. The chain itself reveals the direction the plate is moving.
