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

Complete question:

Look at the Figure in the attached files to see the line of km per million years

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:

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 100 cm

1cm = 10mm

1 km = 1,000,000 mm  

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  

This is s cute awee : (( . well if she's showing you signs that she may like you , then shoot your shot ! don't be afraid . & if you're unsure that she's giving you these signs , then wait out for a little bit . most girls are different . some may act really sweet , but only bc you're a good friend of hers . that , or she might like you . you just never know . but i think you should sit down with her & tell her how you feel . but don't be awkward & shy . just be straight up & tell her how you feel . if the feelings aren't mutual , then don't cry about it . you need to respect her decision & look for others in the world . feelings can be difficult & confusing , but don't be afraid to show them . i say you play it out & if you're still unsure about it , talk to her . - rach
