Along the Juan de Fuca Ridge, volcanoes produce oceanic crust. The Juan de Fuca Plate cools, grows denser, and finally sinks beneath the less dense North American Plate at the Cascadia Trench as it wanders eastward.

<h3>Is the Juan de Fuca Plate dying?</h3>

Because the decaying Juan de Fuca plate is not sinking silently, scientists have a unique opportunity to investigate such impacts. They are intently observing the system's every tremble and burp. (We learned that a strong earthquake broke a tectonic plate in half in this way.)

<h3>How Fast Is Juan de Fuca moving?</h3>

The Farallon Plate, a much bigger oceanic plate that originally existed alongside the smaller Juan De Fuca Plate, is moving east-northeast at a rate of 4 cm (1.6 inches) each year.

<h3>What is happening between the Gorda Plate and the Pacific Plate?</h3>

At a rate of 5 cm per year, the Pacific Plate is diverging from the Gorda Plate as it moves in a northwesterly direction. At a much slower rate of 2.5 to 3 cm per year, the Juan de Fuca Plate (which includes the Gorda Plate) is subducting beneath the North America Plate.

N which side of a mountain is precepitation most likely to occur
sdas [7]
<span>The windward side (as opposed to the leeward side). This is the side facing the prevailing wind, where the air is forced up the mountain where it must cool, condense, and precipitate out its moisture. As it passes the mountain it will sink, whereby it compresses and warms, which is not conducive to precipitation or even clouds.

Hope this helps you with your question :P</span>

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Economic growth is driven oftentimes by consumer spending and business investment.

Tax cuts and rebates are used to return money to consumers and boost spending.

Deregulation relaxes the rules imposed on businesses and have been credited with creating growth but can lead to excessive risk-taking.

Infrastructure spending is designed to create construction jobs and increase productivity by enabling businesses to operate more efficiently.
