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 find out how many meters the tectonic plate would move in 2×106 years, we can multiply the rate of movement per year by the number of years:
0.006 m/year * 2×106 years = 12,000 meters
Expressed in scientific notation, this is 1.2 x 10^4 meters.
