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.

When dry sand and water are both exposed to equal amounts of light, you will find that water is cooler than sand.
This is because the amount of heat needed to heat the water is less than that needed to heat sand, thus, sand heats faster.
The correct answer is letter C. increase deposition of sediments upstream. The negative effect of using too much water for the irrigation of crops is that it wash out sediments and these sediments are brought down the water streams.
