Suppose you are studying the motion of one of earths plates what units would you probably use to describe its speed?

Answer 1

Centimeters are the proper measuring unit to describe the movement of Earth's plates known as continental drift. The tectonic plates move on average of 2.5 centimeters per year.

Answer 2

You would likely use centimeters per year (cm/yr) or millimeters per year (mm/yr) to describe the speed of Earth's tectonic plates as they move along plate boundaries. These units are commonly used in geology to measure the rate at which plates are moving relative to each other.

Answer 3

meters :)
