The movement of tectonic plates, including North America, occurs at an average rate of about 2 to 5 centimeters per year. Over 5000 years, this would translate to approximately 100 to 250 kilometers of movement, depending on the specific rate of plate tectonics in that region. However, this is a general estimate and actual movement can vary based on geological factors.

It has been proposed that North America is moving west at about 2 cm per year. How many kilometers would it move in 5000 years (Note 2 cm is a measurement so your final answer should have significant?

If North America is moving west at 2 cm per year, in 5000 years it would move a total of 2 cm/year × 5000 years = 10,000 cm. To convert centimeters to kilometers, divide by 100,000 (since there are 100,000 cm in a kilometer). Therefore, North America would move 10,000 cm ÷ 100,000 = 0.1 kilometers in 5000 years.
