The rate of pacific plate motion is 7 centimeters per year.

<h3>Movement of pacific plate</h3>

The rate of pacific plate motion is seven centimeters which is equals to 2.75 inches per year i.e. about the rate at which fingernails grow. The main reason behind the movement of Pacific Plate is due to sea floor spreading from the East Pacific Rise (divergent margin) in the Gulf of California.

While on the other hand, the North American Plate moved to the west and north west due to sea floor spreading from the Mid Atlantic Ridge (divergent margin) so we can conclude that the rate of pacific plate motion is 7 centimeters per year.
