Answer: 2.1 billion years

Explanation:

The half-life of an element refers to the amount of time it would take for half of its mass to decay.

In 700 million years, Uranium - 235 will be 1/2 of its original mass.

If divided by 2, the 1/2 becomes 1/4 which is the proportion of the original mass the Uranium would get to after another 700 million years.

Dividing by another would get the Uranium-235 to 1/8 of its original value and would take another 700 million years.

Total time taken:

= 700 + 700 + 700

= 2,100 million years

= 2.1 billion years

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Spreading axis

Explanation:

Oceanic crust is constantly being pushed horizontally away from the ridge crest toward an oceanic trench. This ridge crest is known as spreading axis or spreading center. The phenomenon itself is known as seafloor spreading. Seafloor spreading as a theory was first proposed by Harry Hess in 1962. He proposed that sea floor moves, as well as continents. The seafloor moves at a rate of about 1-24 cm per year.
