v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year
d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm
t = number of years required to move distance "d"
distance traveled is given as
d = v t
inserting the above values in the formula
100 mm = (20 mm/year) t
dividing both side by 20 mm/year
t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)
t = 5 years
Answer:
Convergent.
Explanation:
Just as oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is destroyed in subduction zones. Subduction is the important geologic process in which a tectonic plate made of dense lithospheric material melts or falls below a plate made of less-dense lithosphere at a convergent plate boundary.
Answer:
Toward each other teehee merry christmas
Explanation:
The amount of gravitational potential energy acquired by the rock is equal to:

where
m is the mass of the rock
g is the gravitational acceleration

is the increase in height of the rock
Substituting the data of the problem, we find

So, Natalie gave 220.7 J of energy to the rock.
