The average tectonic plate moves at the rate of 0.006 m per year. How many meters would it move in 2×106 years? Write the answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.(1 point)
m
To calculate the total distance the tectonic plate would move in 2x10^6 years, we can multiply the rate of movement (0.006 m/year) by the number of years (2x10^6):
0.006 m/year * 2x10^6 years = 12,000 m
The result is 12,000 meters.
