If a plate moves 4 centimeters per year how many kilometers would it move in 1 million years?
Emochick123
4 cm * 1,000,000 y = 4000,000 cm
4000,000 /100 = 40,000 m
40,000 m / 1000 = 40 km

The speed a tectonic plate moves per year is best measured in?
centimeters!
What is the second largest plate?
At nearly 76 million square kilometers, the North American Plate is only behind the Pacific Plate in size.
What tectonic plate has the largest percentage of oceanic crust?
The largest oceanic crustal plate is the Pacific plate with over 103 million square kilometers.
About how many centimeters does the Nazca Plate move in one year if it moves 1.0mm every four days?
then it moves 91.25mm each yearthen it says about how many centimeters ......it rounds to 91.3 then move the point to 9.13 centimeters a yearhow i got it:365 divided by 4 equals 91.25 mm
How long does it take for plate tectonics to move?
It moves 2 cm per year
Where will Australia be in the next 1 million years?
The Australian plate is moving north at 5.6 centimeters per year. So in 1 million years it will be 5.6 kilometers or 3.5 miles north of where it is now.

How have scientists figured out that the pacific plate is moving at about nine centimeters per year?
All of the tectonic plates move, but they move at different speeds depending on which plates are involved. The Pacific plate moves slightly more than four centimeters annually.

How long will it take for Los Angeles and San Francisco to slide together?
If the Pacific Plate, on which Los Angeles is located, moves north relative to the North American Plate, on which San Francisco is located 480 km away, at a rate of about 6 cm per year, it would take 8 million years for Los Angeles to move to the present location of San Francisco. This can be calculated because there are 1000 meters per kilometer and 100 centimeters per meter so there are 100,000 centimeters per kilometer. Therefore, Los Angeles would have to move 48,000,000 centimeters to reach San Francisco and if it only moves 6 centimeters per year it would take 8 million years to get there calculated by dividing 48,000,000 by 6.

What was the rate in centimeters per year and direction of plate motion from 1.6 million years ago to the present time?
That's going to depend heavily onwhich plate you want to talk about.
What was the rate in centimeters per year and direction of plate motion from 1.6 million years ago to present?
The answer will depend on which plate. And since you have not bothered to provide that information, I cannot provide a sensible answer.
