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.

Which countries in south asia have capitals that are centrally located
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Bangladesh

Nepal

Explanation:

There are eight countries that fall into the region of South Asia. Out of these eight countries, only two have centrally located capitals. Those two countries are Bangladesh and Nepal. Bangladesh's capital is Dhaka, and it is located in the central part of the country. It is the most populated city in the country, and it is also one of the places in the world with highest population densities. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal. Nepal doesn't really have a shape so that a city can be far away from the borders, but if we look at it in a longitudinal manner, its capital comes to be in the central part of the country. It is by far the most populated city in the country, and it is the political, economic, cultural, administrative center.
