Meter per Hour

m/h

Definition

The meter per hour is a unit of speed representing the distance of one meter traveled in one hour. It is used for measuring very slow speeds, such as the movement of glaciers, tectonic plates, or other geological processes that occur over extended time periods.

History/Origin

Meter per hour was derived from the metric system as a unit for measuring extremely slow velocities. It became useful in geology, glaciology, and other earth sciences where processes occur at rates too slow to measure in more common speed units.

Current Use

Meter per hour is primarily used in geological and glaciological studies to measure the movement of glaciers, tectonic plate drift, and other slow geological processes. It is also used in some industrial applications for very slow-moving machinery.
