grammar - N+にわたって/にわたり/にわたる



Can someone explain me the exact meaning of にわたって when used in describing time/ duration? I understand it's use for range when we describe space. And I know it can mean something like "over a period of", but I saw it also means prolongation of time.Also, isn't 間 alone for duration? Why we need にわたって? So, what is the difference here:



私は 3時間 勉強しました。
私は 3時間にわたって 勉強しました。
