Question

multiple-choice question how fast does the lithosphere move a year? 1-2 centimeters 1-2 miles 1-2 inches per year rewatch

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The lithosphere (tectonic plates) moves at a very slow rate. Geological knowledge tells us that tectonic plates typically move 1 - 2 inches (or approximately 1 - 2 centimeters, but the more common unit for this rate is inches or centimeters, and 1 - 2 inches per year is a standard approximation for the movement speed of lithospheric plates. Miles would be far too fast for this geological process.

Answer:

1 - 2 Inches Per Year (the option "1 - 2 Inches Per Year")
