Step-by-step explanation:
two vertical vectors one with upward direction and 150 units and one with downward direction of 120 units,
the resultant of the vectors = 150-120 = 30 units
with upward direction.
10-3x=82 is an algebraic expression!
The Pacific Plate is being moved north west due to sea floor spreading from the East Pacific Rise (divergent margin) in the Gulf of California. The North American Plate is being pushed west and north west due to sea floor spreading from the Mid Atlantic Ridge (divergent margin)
so in other words Pacific Plate moves north-westwards past the North American Plate.
