Please help!! Can you figure out the modern spreading rate of the Mid- Atlantic ridge? Use that line to figure out how many kilo

meters a plate moved from the spreading boundary in a set number of years. Convert that rate to the distance a point moves in just one year, rounding your answer to the nearest millimeter.

Answer:

R = 16mm/y  

Explanation:

Modern Spreading Rate (R) = distance the seafloor moved in km (d) / age in million years (t)

R = d/t  

To calculate it in millimeters per year we need to convert it:

<em>1 km = 1000 m  </em>

<em>1 m = 100 cm </em>

<em>1cm = 10mm </em>

<em>1 km = 1,000,000 mm   </em>

The problem states that in 150 million years, there is a distance of 2400 km.

if 1 km ------- 1,000,000 mm

2400 km-------X = 2400,000,000 mm

If 1 million years -------1,000,000 years

150 my----X = 150,000,000 years

R = d/t

R = 2400,000,000 mm/150,000,000 y.

R = 16mm/y

Why is important the science of knowledge?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Science is about understanding the world, but it's a process rather than a body of knowledge. Scientific knowledge is what we learn from the scientific process, which involves experimenting and collecting data. Part of the scientific process concerns what you do after data has been collected.
