Answer:
The North American Plate moves in roughly a southwest direction away from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at a rate of about 2.3 centimeters (~1 inch) per year. At the same time, the Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest at a speed of between 7 and 11 centimeters (~3-4 inches) a year.
Explanation:
The fastest moving tectonic plate on Earth?
The Cocos and Nazca plates (in the pacific ocean) are right now the quickest, moving at over 10 cm/yr. However typical plate movements are less quick, at rates about 2-3 cm/yr.
How fast is the North American plate moving?
The North American plate is moving to the west-southwest at about 2.3 cm (~1 inch) per year driven by the spreading center that created the Atlantic Ocean, the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
Home isn't a place I have found yet. Yes, I have a house, but it is not a place that I think of with great joy. For me, home will be when I move in with a lover and start my own family. When I grow up and am happy, then I will finally be home.
Answer:
Physical features are those like relief features like mountain, plateau and plains.
Explanation:
- When your teacher says physical features she means the features that are found on the surface of the earth like features present on land and water.
- Physical features found on a plane can be represented by different topographies depending upon the location of that feature on earth like the case of mountains they categories of certain physical features like valleys lakes, cirques, horns, and other erosional and depositional features.
- When on a plateau or tableland which is itself a feature produced by the process of erosion and earth's formation other being hills and mounds of all sizes, the plains are flat landscape which has low or high elevated areas from mean sea levels.
- Over e oceans or water bodies, these features can found at various depths and may be shown by areas of the high and low density of water.
- Thus an atlas records all the above physical features on a map of the earth.
