The distance that Juan de Fuca Plate would move is 290 meters.
Note: The Juan de Fuca Plate is moving southeast away from the Pacific Plate at a speed of 29 mm/year.
Given the following data:
To determine the distance that Juan de Fuca Plate would move in meters:
First of all, we would convert the value in millimeters (mm) to meters (m) as follows;
Conversion:
1 millimeter = 0.001 meter
29 millimeter = X meter
Cross-multiplying, we have:
[tex]X = 0.001 \times 29[/tex]
X = 0.029 meter.
Speed = 0.029 meter/year.
Mathematically, the distance covered by an object is given by this formula:
[tex]Distance = speed \times time[/tex]
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
[tex]Distance = 0.029 \times 10000[/tex]
Distance = 290 meters.
