Most tectonic plates only move at a speed of around 1.5 cm/year, but during its collision course with Eurasia India moved at around 15 cm/year! By tectonic standards that is fast.

Australia has been moving fast. There was apparently a recent GPS/Map update because things had gotten over a metre out of alignment.
