Geography

Seasons happen because Earth spins around an axis which is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees. Because of this spinning, parts of Earth gets nearer or more distant from the Sun. Around the June Solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is turned towards the Sun, and gets more direct Sun rays. Because of this, the Northern Hemisphere experience summer in June, July and August. Opposite from this, for the people of South Hemisphere, June, July and August represent the months of winter. Around the December Solstice, the situation completely changes: Southern Hemisphere is turned towards the Sun, and Northern is more distant.

A plate moving at a rate of 3 cm/year is moving toward a plate that is 1,500 km away. In how many years will the plates collide?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

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.
