Continental Drift

The North and South Americans contients are moving away from Africa esimated at 1cm to 10 cm per year. That means that if the earth was 6000 years old x 10cm (take the biggest amount)/year = 60,000 cm's. Converting this to km = .6 km. That means that if you live on the west coast of Africa you should be able to throw a rock onto South America; if the Earth is 6,000 years old.
