Answer:

20 centimetres (7.9 in) per year

Explanation:

In the late Cretaceous, approximately 100 million years ago and subsequent to the splitting off from Gondwana of conjoined Madagascar and India, the Indian Plate split from Madagascar. It began moving north, at about 20 centimetres (7.9 in) per year,[9] and is believed to have begun colliding with Asia as early as 55 million years ago

There are two potential alternative locations for another canal across the isthmus. these are in _________ and __________?
Reika [66]

There are two potential alternative locations for another canal across the isthmus. These are in <u>Mexico</u> and <u>Nicaragua</u>?

An isthmus is a slim strip of land that connects two larger landmasses and separates two bodies of water. This form of the isthmus is called a tombolo and is shaped as waves and tides slowly building up a sand bar to create an everlasting hyperlink between a coastal island (known as a tied island) and the mainland.

Definitely, the 2 most famous isthmuses are the Isthmus of Panama, connecting North and South America, and the Isthmus of Suez, connecting Africa and Asia.

An isthmus is a slim piece of land connecting two large regions across an expanse of water by which they may be otherwise separated. A tombolo is an isthmus that consists of a spit or bar, and a strait is the ocean counterpart of an isthmus.

How is the rate of natural<br> increase determined?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

To calculate the RNI, demographers subtract the death rate (number of deaths per 1,000 people/year) from the birth rate (number of birth per 1,000 people/year) and convert the answer to a percentage.

Equation for Rate of Natural Increase (RNI):

(BirthRate/1,000) – (DeathRate/1000) = (BR-DR)/1000 = RNI %

Hope it helps!
