Answer:

It would take 15,000 seconds, or 250 minutes = 4 hours and 10 seconds.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the time it would take light from the sun to reach Neptune, we will make use of the given data, while noting that time = distance ÷ speed.

Given data:

distance = 4.5 billion km = 4,500,000,000 km (this is the distance between planet Neptune, and the sun).

speed = 300,000 km/s (this is the speed at which light travels).

Therefore, time = 4,500,000,000 ÷ 300,000 = 15,000 seconds = 250 minutes, or 4 hours and 10 seconds.

MissTica

The correct answer is - Tethys Ocean.

The Tethys Ocean was an ocean that was situated between the European and African continents, through what is now the Middle East and parts of Central Asia, and the northern half of the Indian Ocean. Because of the geologic activities, mainly the movement of the Indian plate towards Asia, and the Alpine orogenesis, the ocean was becoming smaller and smaller, and it started to be divided into smaller pieces, until it totally disappeared. One of the remains of this ocean is the largest lake in the world, the Caspian Lake, often referred to as Caspian Sea, and it can easily be seen that this body of water was once part of a much bigger body of water with saline water, because it itself has saline waters.

bonufazy [111]

Strike-slip zones lie within the tectonic plates, separate the two plates as continental or oceanic, and created large shear zones.

<h3>What are tectonic plates?</h3>

Tectonic plates are found in the crust of the Earth mainly in the lithospheric region.

When the vertical zones shifted the two blocks to the horizontal direction in parallel by hitting the fault zone, then the created zone is called a Strike-slip zone. It is usually formed between the oceanic and continental plates under the surface of Earth by forming large shear openings.

Therefore, the explanation provided in options A, C, and E relates to the formation of Strike-slip zones.
