B.50,000 years
C.5,000 years
D.500 years

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. 50,000,000 years

Explanation:

Just took this quiz and got it right. Hopefully this helps!

The branch of science which deals with a living being is called biology.

The correct answer is A

To solve this question, we have to change the units into km.

The rate of moving plate is given in cm/year that is 3cm/year. In km, we have to divide it by 1000000.

After diving it, we will get 0.00003km/year.

Now use the simple distance formula and divide the total distance by the unit distance.

[tex]\frac{1500}{0.00003}[/tex]

After solving it we will get option A that is 50,000,000 years.

Hence, option A is correct.
