Describe the rates and directions of the plate motion at these four sets of locations of seafloor spreading/subduction (southern East Pacific Rise/Tonga, Antarctic-Indian Ridge/Java, East Pacific Rise/Japan, and mid-Atlantic Ridge/Caribbean)
Homework Answers
| Plates | Rate of plate motion | Direction |
| southern East Pacific Rise/Tonga | 6 inches per year | West-southwesterly direction |
| Antarctic-Indian Ridge/Java | 1.33 inches per year | Southeast |
| East Pacific Rise/Japan | 2.50 inches per year | West-southwesterly direction |
| mid-Atlantic Ridge/Caribbean | 0.8 inches per year | moving south |

Do the data for the rates of plate motion for different ocean basins support or refute the hypothesis that they enable determination of the age of the ocean basin? (A strong answer will consider the relationship between spreading rates of mid-ocean ridges in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and the progressive growth of each ocean basin. Comparison of the fate of ocean crust in the different ocean basins should also be considered to help determine whether the rates of plate...

Compare and contrast – in detail – the type of continental
margin found along the west coast of North America, versus the type

Be sure to describe the important continental margin features, and
indicate the relative width of the continental shelf and steepness
of the slope/rise.
