Answer:
The plates will collide in 50,000,000 years.
Explanation:
The tectonic plates are constantly moving. Their movement results in some of them to collide, thus to form convergent plate boundaries. In this case, we have two plates that are relatively far away and the movement is about the average. In order to find out how many years will be needed for the plates to collide we need to:
- convert the km into cm
- divide the distance (in cm) between the plates with the rate of movement of the plate
1 km = 100,000 cm
100,000 x 1,500 = 150,000,000 cm
150,000,000 / 3 = 50,000,000 years
We get a result of 50 million years, meaning the plates will collide in this much time, which in geological terms is actually not that long.
A creep is a slow downward progression of rock and soil on a slope of terrain.
A rockfall is a mass of loose rocks that fall down a slope.
A landslide is a mass of earth and/or rocks that have collapsed from a mountain or cliff.
A mudflow is an avalanche of big amounts mud.
