Answer the following question given this paragraph: Tectonic plates are large segments of the Earth's crust that move slowly. Suppose that one such plate has an average speed of 4.0 cm/year. (a) What distance does it move in 1 s at this speed? (b) What is its speed in kilometers per million years? 10. (a) Refer to Table 1.3 to determine the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. Then calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometers per second. (b) What is this in meters per second?. Q: What are the large segments of the earth's crust that ordinarily move very slowly? Choices: - ocean plates - lava plates - distinct plates - tectonic plates A:
Answer:
