Question

Why is Hawaii moving towards Alaska?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\orange{Answer}$

Hawaii moves 7.5cm closer to Alaska every year.

The tectonic plates are in constant motion. This is slowly shifting Hawaii north because it sits in the middle of the Pacific Plate, which is slowly drifting north-west in the direction of Alaska. Strangely enough, the plates move at the same speed as the growth of our fingernails.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hawaii moves 7.5cm closer to Alaska every year.

Hawaii sits in the middle of the Pacific Plate, which is slowly drifting north-west towards the North American Plate, back to Alaska. The plates' pace is comparable to the speed at which our fingernails grow.
