About these units
Centimeter/Hour (cm/h)
A centimeter per hour is used in fields where extremely slow processes are tracked, including seepage rates in soil hydrology, chemical diffusion fronts in laboratory experiments, and biological growth in certain organisms. Urban planning and material science may use cm/h to describe settlement rates in soft soils or long-term deformation of structural components. Although rarely used in public communication, cm/h is invaluable in precision scientific contexts where even a centimeter over an hour represents meaningful change.
Meter/Hour (m/h)
A meter per hour is an extremely slow speed, corresponding to the distance of a single meter traveled over a 60-minute period. This unit is rarely encountered in daily life but is useful in engineering contexts where mechanical motion is very slow—such as conveyor systems, slow-moving robotics, geological creep, or precision laboratory instruments. Environmental sciences also use m/h to describe gradual natural processes like glacier movement or soil displacement. The unit highlights the diversity of real-world velocities—from near-light-speed phenomena to movements almost imperceptibly slow.
