1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, so 1320 meters would be equal to 1320 x 100 = 132,000 centimeters.
Now, we can calculate the number of years it would take for the continents to drift this distance using the formula:
Time (in years) = Distance / Rate
Time = 132,000 cm / 3 cm per year
Time ≈ 44,000 years
Therefore, it would take approximately 44,000 years for the North American and European continents to drift 1320 meters further apart than they are now.
