1. Along a transform boundary, two plates simply move laterally past each other along a transform fault without any major element of divergence or convergence. 2. Preliminary results have confirmed that plates are moving in the directions, and at the rates, indicated by already acquired geophysical data. 3. In spite of the wide range of supporting evidence for the existence of plate tectonics the question of what causes plates to move has yet to be fully resolved. 4. As the plates moved apart, the neurons stayed stuck to them. 5. But an MRI of her head and neck showed that the plate had moved and that her bones were not knitting. 6. The most troublesome problems came from the fact that the plate often moved between exposures. 7. The plates move in a slow, subterranean collision at an average speed of four centimeters per year. 8. The plates move like conveyor belts. 9. These currents move in a circular motion beneath the plates, causing the plates to move. 10. While most plates are moving at rates measured in centimeters per year, the motion between India and Australia is only a few millimeters per year, Cochran said. |
