Answer:
Rate = 2 cm/year
Explanation:
It is given that, a plate moves 200m in 10,000 years. We need to find its rate in cm/year.
We know that, 1 m = 100 cm
200 m = 200 × 100 cm
= 20000 cm
Its rate is given by :
[tex]R=\dfrac{20000}{10,000}\\\\R=2\ cm/year[/tex]
So, the plate is moving at a rate of 2 cm/year.
