Question

In California the pacific plate slides past the North American plate. If the pacific plate is moving at a speed of 5 centimeters per year how long will it take for the plate to travel 100 meters

Answer 1

2000years

Step-by-step explanation:

We will either convert the distance to centimeters or speed to meters/second.

Converting distance to centimeters: 100 meters= 100*100centimeters =10000centimeters.

time=distance/speed

t=10000/5=2000 years
