Answer:

In order to deposit 100 meters of limestone layer, it will take 6,451,600 years

Explanation:

Given that,

The rate of deposition carbonate sediments is 1.55 cm in 1,000 years

⇒ 1.55 cm = 1,000 years

⇒ 1 cm = \frac{1000}{1.55}

⇒ 1 cm = 645.16 years

∵ 1 m = 100 cm

∴ 100 m = 100 × 100 cm

⇒ 100 m = 10,000 cm

So, the time it will take for carbonate to deposit 100 m thick layer of limestone will be-

⇒ 10,000 cm (100 meter) =  645.16 × 10,000 years

⇒ 100 meters = 6,451,600 years

Annotate around the image showing plate tectonic theory to explain how the continents drifted apart.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The crust broke up because of the convection currents, formed tectonic plates, and is slowly pushed on the surface until it collides with another plate and subducts.

Explanation:

This image gives us the basics of how the plate tectonics theory works. The material in the upper mantle is cooler and denser than the material in the lower mantle, so it drops down and it pushes the hotter and less dense material up. This creates a circular motion in the mantle, and this motion creates enormous pressure on the crust above it and breaks it up.

As the crust is broken up, magma is rising constantly for millions of years, so the new magma pushes the old solidified one further away. This also pushes two pieces of crust away from each other. As the crusts move away, they eventually collide with another plate, and either gradually merge with it, or a subduction zone is created. In the latter, the crust moves below another crust and into the mantle, where it gets melted and recycled.
