<span>Given:
3,500 kilometers
Find:</span>
Years for two continents to collide = ?
<span>Solution:
We know that </span>typical motions of one plate relative to another
are 1 centimeter per year.
So first, we convert 3,500 km to cm.<span>
</span><span>
</span>
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
1 km = 100,000 cm
3,500 km x 100,000 = 350,000,000 cm
Since we know that 1 cm = 1 year, then that means
350,000,000 cm is equivalent to 350,000,000 years.
Therefore, it would take 350 million years for two continents
that are 3500 kilometers apart to collide.
<span>
To add, </span>a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at
convergent boundaries is called the continental collision.
