The Rate of movement of the Pacific Plate will be 37.87cm per year.
Underneath the Pacific Ocean is an oceanic tectonic plate known as the Pacific Plate. It is the largest tectonic plate at 103 million km2. The Farallon, Phoenix, and Izanagi Plate triple junction are where the plate initially formed 190 million years ago.
From the information given, the following can be deduced:
Distance = 500 km = 50000000cm
Time = 1.32 million years = 1320000 years.
Therefore, the rate of plate movement will be (i.e. speed) :
(speed) = Distance / Time
(speed) = 50000000 / 1320000.
(speed) = 37.87 cm/yr

Answer:
Hayward fault
While the San Andreas fault gets much of the attention, it's the Hayward fault that quake experts consider the most dangerous fault in America.
Explanation:
The tropical cyclones have a thermal origin, and they develop over tropical seas during late summers (August to mid-November). At these locations, the strong local convectional currents acquire a whirling motion because of the Coriolis force.
