The north american and european continents are moving apart at a rate of about 3 cm/y. at this rate how long in years will it take them to drift 484 km farther apart than they are at present?



Answer :

1.6133 long will take it to drift than that at present.

Explanation:

We use V = S/T

Where v = velocity

S= distance

T= time

We can rework this to T=S/V

Given that 3cm/y converts into m

1m = 0.01 *3

3m/y

1km = 1000m

484000 m

Now, T=S/V

T = 484000/0.03

T = 16133333.33 x [tex]10^{-7}[/tex]

T = 1.6133
