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.

Explain five reasons for high birth rates in LEDCs- Less Economically Developed Countries.
romanna [79]

Answer:

In developing countries children are needed as a labour force and to provide care for their parents in old age.

In these countries, fertility rates are higher due to the lack of access to contraceptives and generally lower levels of female education.

High fertility can impose costly burdens on developing nations.

In rural areas children are needed as labour on farms. In urban areas they are needed to work in the informal sector to earn money for their families.

Women have a large number of children as there is a high level of infant mortality
