What direction does the pacific plate moving?
eastward
In which direction is the indo-australian plate moving?
The Indo-Australian plate moves Northeast as the Pacific Plate moves around it in a Northwest direction as if rotating.
How much does the Pacific plate move each year?
The pacific plate is moving in a northwesternly direction
How can the chain of islands that make up Hawaii be used to show the direction the plate beneath them moving?
The Hawaiian Islands are formed by volcanic activity as the Pacific Plate moves over a stationary hotspot in the Earth's mantle. As the plate shifts, new islands are created while older ones become eroded and sink. The linear arrangement of the islands indicates the direction of the plate's movement, demonstrating that the Pacific Plate is moving northwestward. This geological evidence provides insight into plate tectonics and the dynamics of Earth's lithosphere.
Why are there earthquakes in the region of pacific plate and north America plan despite the absence of volcanoes?
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.
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.
The East Pacific Rise separates the Nazca Plate from the?
The East Pacific Rise separates the Nazca Plate from the Pacific Plate.
What is the plate that contain the most hot spots?
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.
Does the African plate borders the pacific plate?
the African plate borders the pacific plate
Does the African plate border the pacific plate?
the African plate borders the pacific plate
What is the direction of the plate and how does this compare to the trend in direction of the island chain?
The pacific plate moves towards the northwest. the plate moves the older volcanoes with it and so the hot spot produces new volcanoes.
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.
