Galapagos Islands
The Future
Tectonic Plates
Once again because plates move so slowly the difference from today to one hundred years would be unnoticeable. In one million years the plate would be much closer to Asia which much more powerful volcanic activity because of the continued subduction of the Indian/Australian plate. The island move about seven centimeters a year.
The island is located on the Indian/Australian plate and is colliding into the northern Eurasian plate. Much like the Galapagos islands Krakatoas volcanic activity is caused by the subduction of the Indian/Australian plate under the Eurasian plate.
Tectonic Plates
The Galapagos are a collection of islands off the western coast of South America. It is known for its natural beauty and the high amount of volcanic activity in the area.
The Future
The islands are found on the northern edge of the Nazca plate. The reason behind all of the volcanic activity is the convergent boundary between the Nazca and South American plates. The Nazca plate slides underneath the other plate causing a volcanic hotspot.
The End!
Krakatoa
As the previous picture shows the Northern area of the Nazca plate that the Galapagos islands are found is colliding into the South American plate to the East. In ten or one hundred years very little is expected to change on the Galapagos islands due to the slow moving nature. However, in one million years the Galapagos islands will either have much stronger volcanic activity due to the subduction of the Nazca plate or collide with South America and become a part of the continent. The islands move 9 centimeters a year.
Krakatoa is a volcanic islands found in the Sundra Strait within the Indian ocean. It is known for having one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions of all time in the nineteenth century. The eruption caused much of the island to sink into the ocean.
