The correct answer is - 2.1 cm per year.

In order to get to the result of how much the African plate has been moving annually over the last 100 million years, we should first turn the kilometers into centimeters:

1 m = 100 cm

1 km = 1,000 m

1,000 m = 100,000,000 cm

2,1  x 100,000,000 = 210,000,000 cm

We got to the result of 210 million cm of total movement. Now we have to divide the number of cm with the number of the years in which the plate has moved that much, which is 100 million:

210,000,000 / 100,000,000 = 2.1 cm

So we get a result of an average movement of 2.1 cm per year pf the African plate during the period of 100 million years.

Otoliths are small stones in the semicircular canals that shift when the head moves. Please select the best answer from the choi
viva [34]
This question actually refers to body parts: otoliths are small structures in your inner ears (in the semicircular canals, so this part is correct) that shift when you move - to help you sense your body position (so this part is also true).

But they're not exactly stones - they are small particles, so that's why the statement is false.
