How have the tectonic plate boundries in California changed over the last 225 million years?
It has moved farther away and produced changes in the features.
Are there any tectonic plates under Pennsylvania?
Yes. As a matter of fact, all land masses on earth are located on tectonic plates. So Pennsylvania is riding on the same tectonic plate that is carrying a portion of Eastern North America. What many people are more concerned about are the boundaries between them. There are 3 primary types of Tectonic Plate boundaries: Divergent boundaries; Convergent boundaries; and Transform boundaries. These are the areas where seismic activity occurs. So, Pennsylvania is actually quite far from an active tectonic boundary. And, as a result, it most likely will not experience an earthquake of any significant magnitude in the near future. Pennsylvania has been a fair distance from the nearest plate boundary since the breakup of Pangaea about 150 million years ago.
Where are the 1 million volcanoes located on earth?
The number of volcanoes on Earth is nowhere near 1 million. There are about 1,500 active volcanoes on Earth, most of them near the boundaries of tectonic plates. About half of them are scattered along the rim of the Pacific Ocean.
What is layer of the earth divided into tectonic plates?

What is the population of California and Illinois?
California-38.8 Million Illinois-12.88 million total-51.68 Million
How do tectonic plates stop moving?
It will stop moving in 200 million years.
Which of the boundaries was formed about 25 million years ago?
coastal boundary
How far do tectonic plates move in 200 million years?
the average speed of a tectonic plate is 2-5 cm per year. the average of 3.5 cm / yr x 200 mil years= 700 million centimeters (7 million meters or 7,000 km)
Was pangaea a perfect fit?
Pangaea was a perfect fit... 200 million years ago. Today if you pieced the continents together today you would see that they are close to fitting, but the shorelines have eroded and the tectonic plates have changed their shape a bit.
