Question

igneous rock determined 25 million year old plate movement transported 100,000 meters. How fast is plate moving?

Answer 1

0.004 m/yr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the velocity of any object is computed by dividing the travelled distance by the elapsed time, we obtain:

`V=(distance)/(time)\\\\V=(100,000m)/(25,000,000yr)\\\\V=0.004m/yr`

It means that the plate moves 0.004 m every year.

Best regards!
