Not sure if the answer should be in mph, or meters per second, whatever answer you feel is best, thanks.

The answer is usually given in cm/yr (centimeters per year). The answers are usually between 1 cm/yr and 5 cm/yr. As another poster said, about as fast as your fingernail grows.

They move on the order of an inch per year, so in mph that would be about 2x10-8 mph or 0.00000002 mph.

It varies. India is the speed fiend, but mostly it's about the same speed as your fingernails grow.

Try millimetres per thousand years and you might get a sensible answer.
