The answer is 150,000,000 years (150 million years)

Let's first convert 7,500 km to cm:
1 km = 100,000 cm
7,500 km = 7,500 · 1 km = 7,500 · 100,000 cm = 750,000,000 cm

Now, it is known that the plate is spreading at 5 cm per 1 year. Make a proportion:
5 cm : 1 year = 750,000,000 cm : x
x = 750,000,000 cm · 1 year ÷ 5 cm = 150,000,000 years

The process in which the receptors in the skin turn the stimulation into a neural impulse is called transduction. In addition, transduction is the process by which sensory input is converted to a neural code and sent to the brain. A signal in which a hormone or neurotransmitter interrelates with a receptor on the cell surface in which this contact causes a alteration in a second messenger such calcium and will eventually a alteration is activated in the function of cell.
