15 Μαΐ 2015 · Linking tectonothermal ages of continental lithosphere to the RMS plate velocity analysis, we find that the increasing portions of plate area composed of continental and/or cratonic lithosphere significantly reduces plate speeds.
Plate motions range from 10 to 40 millimetres per year (0.4 to 1.6 in/year) at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (about as fast as fingernails grow), to about 160 millimetres per year (6.3 in/year) for the Nazca plate (about as fast as hair grows). [9][10]
20 Νοε 2024 · These plates move relative to each other, typically at rates of 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) per year, and interact along their boundaries, where they converge, diverge, or slip past one another.
17 Φεβ 2023 · How Fast Do Tectonic Plates Move. The tectonic plates move at an average rate of one to two inches (three to five centimeters) per year. The movement or shifting of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries.
24 Απρ 2024 · Rates of motions of the major plates range from less than 1 cm/y to over 10 cm/y. The Pacific Plate is the fastest, followed by the Australian and Nazca Plates. The North American Plate is one of the slowest, averaging around 1 cm/y in the south up to almost 4 cm/y in the north.
23 Δεκ 2014 · Plates with any cratonic portion have a median RMS velocity of ∼5.8 cm/yr, while plates with more than 25% of cratonic area have a median RMS speed of 2.8 cm/yr.
Plate motions range up to a typical 10–40 mm/year (Mid-Atlantic Ridge; about as fast as fingernails grow), to about 160 mm/year (Nazca Plate; about as fast as hair grows). The driving mechanism behind this movement is described below.
