To find the distance the tectonic plate would move in 2×10^6 years, we can multiply the rate of movement (0.006 m/year) by the number of years.
0.006 m/year * 2×10^6 years = 0.006 * 2 * 10^6 = 1.2 * 10^4 m.
Therefore, the tectonic plate would move 1.2 * 10^4 meters in 2×10^6 years.
0.006 m/year * 2×10^6 years = 0.006 * 2 * 10^6 = 1.2 * 10^4 m.
Therefore, the tectonic plate would move 1.2 * 10^4 meters in 2×10^6 years.
