How far (in miles) will Tokyo, Japan move in 10,000 years? Show your work (round your answer to the nearest tenth) (3) Map of San Andreas fault in CaliforniaNext, we will use Goode's Atlas and the Plate Motion Calculator (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to determine how long it will take for two cities to meet each other. The cities of Santa Barbara, CA, and San Francisco, CA lie on opposite sides of the San Andreas fault, that is one lies on the North American plate and the other on the Pacific plate. Since these two plates are sliding past each other, one day Santa Barbara and San Francisco will be across from each other. Use Goode's Atlas to look up the latitude and longitude of Santa Barbara, CA, and San Francisco, CA. Go to the plate motion calculator and enter the values (just degrees and minutes, leave the seconds blank). Remember that for longitudes in the western hemisphere and the southern hemisphere enter the values as negative.

8. What is the speed of Santa Barbara? (round your answer to the nearest hundredth) (2)

9. What is the speed of San Francisco? (round your answer to the nearest hundredth) (2)

10. Using page 128 (p.118 in 22nd edition) in your atlas, determine how many miles apart are Santa Barbara and San Francisco. Show your work (round your answer to the nearest whole number) (3)

11, You can calculate how fast the two cities are moving toward each other by adding up the absolute value of their speeds. Based on the distance that you calculated in the previous question, and the speed at which the two cities are moving toward each other, how many years will it take for Santa Barbara and San Francisco to "meet"? Remember that Speed = Distance/Time. Note that 25.4 mm = 1 inch, 12 inches = 1 foot, 5280 feet = 1 mile, 1 mile = 1.61 kilometers (round your answer to the nearest whole number). Show your work. (3)
