Answer;
180 years.
Explanation;
The average growth rate of mt. Everest is 4 millimeters per year.
Therefore;
For the mountain to grow by 720 millimeters ;
720 millimeter /4 millimeter per year
= 180 years
Therefore; it will take 180 years for mount Everest to grow for 720 Millimeters.
C - Organisms, Particles
D- rabbies, ?
The correct answers are:
- plates moving;
- breaking rocks;
- movement bellow the surface;
The earthquakes are a direct result of the plate tectonics. In order for an earthquake to appear, there should be a geologic activity caused by the movement of the tectonic plates. The movement of the tectonic plates causes a lot of pressure on the rocks. The rocks eventually break at certain places under the pressure. A they break, there's movement bellow the surface, or rather inside the crust, also referred to as adjustment. That movement and the release of power from it, causes lot of strong vibrations. The vibrations spread out and start shaking the ground in the surrounding area, which is actually the earthquake itself.
This is referred to as allopatric speciation where species are separated geographically and evolve into two different species over time
