Answer Question • ANSWER: Scientists estimate the North American plate is moving southwest at this rate in centimeters per year. • QUESTION: What is 2.3 cm? Answer Question • ANSWER: The number of years it will take Los Angeles to become a suburb of San Francisco because of movement along the San Andreas Fault. • QUESTION: What is 10 million? Answer Question • ANSWER: This term in plate tectonics comes from the Latin word “ducere” meaning “to lead.” • QUESTION: What is subduction? Answer Question
