The Rate of movement of the Pacific Plate will be 37.87cm per year.
Underneath the Pacific Ocean is an oceanic tectonic plate known as the Pacific Plate. It is the largest tectonic plate at 103 million km2. The Farallon, Phoenix, and Izanagi Plate triple junction are where the plate initially formed 190 million years ago.
From the information given, the following can be deduced:
Distance = 500 km = 50000000cm
Time = 1.32 million years = 1320000 years.
Therefore, the rate of plate movement will be (i.e. speed) :
(speed) = Distance / Time
(speed) = 50000000 / 1320000.
(speed) = 37.87 cm/yr

soft clay and wet and sandy soil as they are more likely to collapse or corrode over time especially the wet and sandy soil which will erode with rain or water
Ok I don't know what chart it is (that would really help) but the global population is around 7 billion not 80 million so unless the chart is from a long time ago (when the population was smaller) I'd go with B. The global population is about 80,000,000
Answer:
a particular place or position
Explanation:
location
Extrusive volcanic rocks are formed on the surface of the earth and cool relatively quickly from lava erupted from a volcano. The rapid cooling of lava on the surface does not allow for visible crystals to form. The crystals are minute and most can only be seen under a microscope. Basalt is an example of an extrusive igneous rock.
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when magma cools within the crust. This magma cools slowly and so crystals develop in these rocks. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock.
