Answer:

Delta

Explanation:

Delta is a geographical term that describes the formation of wetlands. It is formed from the slow movement of water and deposit from a river into a larger water body. For example lake, sea and ocean. A vivid example is a place where the River Nile moves at a slower pace into the Mediterranean Sea.

Hence, in this case, as a river reaches its mouth it is often affected by incoming tides resulting in a formation called a DELTA.

As the sea floor of the Atlantic Ocean spreads, the African Plate moves eastward. Over the last 100 million years, the plate has

ELEN [110]

The correct answer is - 2.1 cm per year.

In order to get to the result of how much the African plate has been moving annually over the last 100 million years, we should first turn the kilometers into centimeters:

1 m = 100 cm

1 km = 1,000 m

1,000 m = 100,000,000 cm

2,1 x 100,000,000 = 210,000,000 cm

We got to the result of 210 million cm of total movement. Now we have to divide the number of cm with the number of the years in which the plate has moved that much, which is 100 million:

210,000,000 / 100,000,000 = 2.1 cm

So we get a result of an average movement of 2.1 cm per year pf the African plate during the period of 100 million years.

What is the ocean current

juin [17]

An ocean current is a continuous movement of water in the ocean in some direction - this means that the water flows at a similar speed and direction despite the fact that it's not the same water - i.e. there is a water exchange in the current. The currents are caused by such factors as temperature and salinity of water.
