Answer:

v = 1.36 cm / y

Explanation:

For this exercise we must assume that the displacement of the plates is constant over time, so we will use the kinematic relationships for the uniform movement

      v = d / t

We reduce the quantities to the SI system

     d = 320 km (1000 m / 1km) (100 cm / 1 m)

     d = 3.2 107 cm

let's calculate

     v = 32.107 / 23.5 106

     v = 1.36 cm / y

mylen [45]

Answer:

<em>In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object. Energy is a conserved quantity; the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed.</em>

Which type of relationship is formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the
Alina [70]

The type of relationship formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the seeds in a new location is COMENSALISM. It is an ecological interaction.

<h3>What is commensalism?</h3>

Commensalism is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism benefits (in this case, the tree)  and the other organism neither benefits nor harm (the megabat).

Mutualism is a type of ecological association in which both organisms benefit from such interaction.

Conversely, parasitism is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism benefits and the other organism is harmed.
