● Plate tectonics: The earth’s crust and upper mantle are broken into sections called plates. ● These plates float on the mantle like rafts
(moving very slowly)

• There are 8 primary plates and several more secondary plates that make up the earth’s landmass.

• The speed at which the plates move is about the speed at which your fingernails grow.

SlowestThey are all slow
The African Plate's speed is estimated at around
2.15 cm (0.85 in) per year

The yearly distance traveled varies from plate to plate. Some move at 3 centimeters while other's move around 6 cm per year.
FastestTonga Microplate Samoa 24 cm (9.4 inches) a year.
