How far do tectonic plates move in a year

Physics
1 answer:
Vladimir [108]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

About 4-10cm/yr

Explanation:

Plates have different motion due to the tectonic settings and the properties of the plates.

Tectonic plates typically move very slowly over the weak asthenosphere in the mantle. This accounts for the wide range of about 4-10cm/yr. Some plates moves slower than this. It is difficult to perceive plate movement using our observational senses.

Scientists use GPS units and satellites to monitor the rate of movement of plates in a year to as to forecast a whole lot of environmental event that might  result from that.
