Tectonic plates are known to move at a rate of between 1 \u2013 10 cm per year; however, some movements are slower than this. However, it may take a relatively short period to reach from one to another depending on the type of the plate boundary and forces exerted on it. For instance, there is the Pacific Plate that can move at a rate of 1.5 cm\/year while other slow-moving plates such as the Eurasian Plate will move around 0.4mm per year. Although tectonic plates move slowly relative to human standards, while moving over millions of years have influenced the positions of continents, oceans, and other physical features on the planet today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question:- How far do the tectonic plates move in a year?
