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.
