In some areas of the sea floor, foraminifera tests (shells) are accumulating at a rate of 1 cm per 1,000 years. How thick a deposit could have accumulated during the 65 million years (65,000,000 years) of the Cenozoic Era

Respuesta :

The answer is 650m.

Given, that in some areas of the sea floor, foraminifera tests (shells) are accumulating at a rate of 1 cm per 1,000 years.

Accumulating rate = 1cm per 1,000 years

                              = 1cm / 1,000 years

Cenozoic Era = 65 million years = 65,000,000 years

deposit accumulated during Cenozoic Era = [tex]\frac{1cm}{1,000 years}[/tex] × 65,000,000 years

                                                                      = 65,000 cms

Since 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cms)

65,000cms = 65,000/100 = 650m

Hence, for the given scenario deposit accumulated during the 65 million years (65,000,000 years) of the Cenozoic Era is 650m.
