Question 842912: The Earth's crust is divided into large pieces called tectonic plates. The Pacific tectonic plate is moving northwest at a rate of about 4^-2m each year. At this rate, how long will it take the plate to move 4^6m (about 2.5 miles)? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Earth's crust is divided into large pieces called tectonic plates.
The Pacific tectonic plate is moving northwest at a rate of about 4^-2m each year.
At this rate, how long will it take the plate to move 4^6m (about 2.5 miles)?
