spin [16.1K]

Los Angeles lies on the Pacific plate, San Francisco lies on the North American plate, and the meeting point of the two cities is mathematically given as

T = 120 x 105 years

<h3>What is the meeting point of the two plates?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Distance is mathematically given as

D = Rate x Time

Therefore

T = D/R

T = (600 x 105) / 5

T = 120 x 105 years

In conclusion, the meeting point of the two plates will be

T = 120 x 105 years
