The hypothesis of continental drift came up in 1910 by German scientist Alfred Wegener. The idea is that when you look at a map south America and Africa seem to fit perfectly together. this would have made one super Continent called Pangaea. so in order for it to get to where it is today something must have happened that is where the idea of floating continents came in. this theory is no longer relevant as now scientists found they would have to adjust to fit the size if both continents. I hope this helps.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

1.0236 billion metric tons

Explanation:

Given Parameters

Number of cars = 300000000

Average gas mileage per car = 25 MPG

Average distance covered by a car in one year = 10000 miles

CO2 Emission = 8.53 kg/gallon

Derivations from the given parameters,

If the average gas mileage per car is 25 MPG, then the volume of fuel consumed by a car in a year is:

10000 miles ÷ 25 MPG = 400 gallons

The CO2 emission for one car in a year is:

400 gallons × 8.53 kg/gallon = 3412 kg or 3.412 metric tons (note: 1000 kg = 1 metric ton)

The CO2 emission for 300000000 cars in year is:

3.412 metric tons × 300000000 = 1023600000 kg = 1.0236 billion metric tons
