What is the total temperature change 1000 m and 4 000 m in depth?
Away from tectonic plate boundaries, it is 25-30°C per km of depth in most of the world therefore it is somewhere between 75 and 90°C at that depth thanks to Wikipedia for that one.
How do the tectonic plates moved the continents?
The continents are part of Earth's tectonic plate system, when the plates move the continents move with them. The plate movement is driven by slow mantle convection driven by the heat in Earth's core.
What is the plate movement of a destructive plate?

If a tectonic plate has moved 125cm in a 25-year period what is its average rate of movement in cmyear?
This question depends on which plates you're talking about. Tectonic plates move in different directions and have different rates of movement. For example, the Nazca plate is moving eastward at 13.4 cm per year, but the most southern edge of the African plate is only moving northeast at 1.4 cm per year.
What is the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate?

What units measure tectonic plates movement?
Tectonic plate movement is measured in millimeters per year. This is typically referred to as plate motion velocity. Geologists use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to track the movement of tectonic plates.
Why are there volcano's in the west coast of Canada?

How convection currents drive tectonic plate movement?
by eating them
What is Titanic plate movement?
The Titanic plate movement refers to the process of one tectonic plate subducting beneath another plate in the Earth's lithosphere. This movement can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes along the boundaries of the plates.
What is the noun for the movement of one of earth's heavier tectonic plates underneath a lighter tectonic plate?
Subduction.
Where has diversion tectonic plate movement affected the world?
