Which is faster, the growth of your hair, or the movement of the continent you are standing on? Clearly state your assumptions and how you came to the numbers you estimate.
a) The growth of your hair is faster
- Assumption: The average rate of hair growth is 0.5 inches per month, or approximately 0.016 inches per day.
- The movement of continents is about 2.5 cm per year, which is much slower than the growth of hair.

b) The movement of the continent you are standing on is faster
- Assumption: The movement of the continents is about 2.5 cm per year, or approximately 0.007 cm per day.
- The average rate of hair growth is 0.5 inches per month, or approximately 0.016 inches per day, which is faster than the movement of continents.

c) It is not possible to determine which is faster without specific measurements
- Assumption: Without specific measurements of both hair growth and continental movement, it is not possible to accurately determine which is faster.

d) It is not relevant to compare the two as they are completely different phenomena
- Assumption: Hair growth and continental movement are two completely distinct processes and cannot be effectively compared in terms of speed.
