The North American plate is moving to the west-southwest at about 2.3 cm (~1 inch) per year driven by the spreading center that created the Atlantic Ocean, the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
Because of the volume of goods that travel to its length
Distance of two points can be calculaetd using formula:
Here x1 and y1 are coordinates of point A and x2 and y2 are coordinates of point B.
Now we insert numbers into formula:
Liberia.
It comes from the Latin word liber which means free and Liberia is a country in West Africa.
