If a tectonic plate moves 4 cm per year how many kilometers would it move in 1 million years?
100000/3 years, or approximately 33,333.33 years 1 km = 1000 m and 1 m = 100 cm, so 1 km=1000 m = 100000 cm Distance=rate*time, so time=distance/rate. time= 100000 cm/(3 cm/yr)=100000/3 years, or approximately 33,333.33 years
Why Indonesia has the most volcanoes?
