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 how human activities affect the sediment supply the littoral zone and its related consequences to the coastal environmen
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

planform and cross-shore profile of the subaqueous beach, the subaerial beach and adjacent dune) will always tend to a state of dynamic equilibrium. If some parts are highly resistant to erosion (presence of hard outcrops or cliffs, for example), this can take a very long time. However, if the active coastal zone consists exclusively of loose sediments, a state of dynamic equilibrium can be reached in rather short periods, of the order of years or decades. The longer periods hold for beaches in the vicinity of coastal inlets. The beach state at equilibrium is not static, but fluctuates around the equilibrium state in response to fluctuations in hydrodynamic factors (tidal cycles, wave climate) and sediment supply.

Explain how the earth's axis and revolution combine to create seasonal climate variations.
Levart [38]

Answer:

All of us know that the earth is rotating continuously in its orbit. But we dont realize the rotation due to gravitational force. The earth rotates in its own axis this causes day and night . While rotating on its axis, earth also rotates around elliptical axis around the sun which causes the different regions to experience different seasons. The side facing the sun experience summer and other side experience winter.
