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.

This led to more and more slaves being bought and the cotton plant owners earning huge sums of money.</span>

What are the sources and any problems associated with 1) fossil, 2) nuclear, and 3) renewable fuels?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

<u>Fossil fuel- </u>The sources of fossil fuels are directly from the plants and animals, that are buried millions of years back and are converted into fossil now.

The consumption of fossil fuel leads to the emission of carbon into the atmosphere that is responsible for the increasing global temperature. This is one of the major problem of fossil fuel use.

<u>Nuclear fuel-</u> Nuclear fuels are derived from the radioactive elements such as uranium, strontium and potassium.

One of the major problem of using nuclear fuel is that it releases radioactive waste, that are harmful for various life forms.

<u>Renewable fuels-</u> This are renewable energy that can be generated again and again and are directly derived from the wind, water and the sun. For example, wind mill, solar panels and dams.

One problem of renewable fuels is that it has a lower production of energy such as electricity in comparison to the fossil fuels.
