Hi Mam/classmate this is Mikee Conteras,I'm about to introduce the plate tectonics*comic strips*
You know that tectonic shift is the movement of plates make up earth's crust
The Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest at a speed of between 7 and 11 centimeters(cm) or 3-4 inches a year. 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 and Mid Atlantic Ridge.
Where are the tectonic plates moving?
The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift.
What are the 3 causes of plate movement?
