How long has the continental been evolving?
Over the last 4 billion years.
Type of clock that estimates how long species have been evolving independently?
Molecular Clock
Why do composite volcanoes occur at the boundary between oceanic crust and continental crust?
The simple answer: Oceanic crust is more dense than the continental crust, so it goes under as the two plates ram into each other. (This is called subduction) This submerged crust melts into magma, and collects into a large pool under the continental plate where it went under. The pool of magma forces its way up to form a volcano, which sits in front of us and blows when least expected. The whole process takes a very long time. Also, it only happens in convergent boundaries.
The three domain system arose when scientists grouped organisms according to how long they have been?
evolving independently
Comparison of DNA to determine how long different species have been evolving independently can be done using?
molecular clocks
When was marching band invented?
The marching band we know today branches out from drum and bugle corps which began performing field shows around the 1970's. However marching band has been evolving for centuries.

How long has solar energy been utilized?
Solar energy is the radiant light and heat from the Sun that has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies.
How long have the great lakes been around?
They aren't that old. The Great Lakes started to form about 15,000 years ago when the continental glaciers melted.
How long have humans been evolving?
Homo sapiens, as a species, have existed for about 300,000 years. Hominids as a whole have existed for about 14,000,000 years.
How do continental mountain ranges form?
The tectonic plate movement forms folds in the land over long expansions of time, therefore creating mountains. If you have a continental mountain range, the tectonic plate movement has been moving in that area for a long time.
