Is the earth getting heavier or lighter with the passage of time?
The Earth is getting lighter with time due to the escape of gases into space and the loss of mass through asteroid impacts. However, the overall decrease in mass is very small compared to the Earth's total mass.
Is mercury's gravity heavier or lighter than earth's gravity?
Much lighter. If you weighed 180 pounds on earth you would weigh 68.4 pounds on Mercury.
How many times earth is bigger than mercury?
99000 times lighter than earth.
Do you feel heavier or lighter while climing mount Everest?
I think you feel lighter as you are higher off the ground and when you are on the moon you feel much lighter than on Earth
Which kind of earth's plates is heavier and which is lighter?
Oceanic plates are heavier than continental plates because they are denser and thinner. Continental plates are lighter because they are less dense and thicker. The difference in density and composition accounts for the varying weights of the Earth's plates.
What is the noun for the movement of one of earth's heavier tectonic plates underneath a lighter tectonic plate?
Subduction.
Is Saturn's gravity heavier or lighter than on Earth?
Its Actually Half As Heavy As Your Mom (Shes Fat)
Is the earth getting heavier or lighter?
The earth's mass is increasing slightly. Not much gets out of the gravity well except what we launch, and we are the subject of falling rocks on a 24/7/365 basis.
When heavier elements sink toward the core and lighter elements rise to the top the Earth is said to be what?
The Earth is said to be undergoing differentiation when heavier elements sink towards the core and lighter elements rise to the top. This process results in the formation of distinct layers within the Earth based on differences in density.
What is the principle of subduction?
The density of one tectonic plate is heavier than the other. The lighter plate 'floats on top of the heavier one, which is slowly forced down into the earth.
Why is the earth's outermost layer composed mostly of lighter elements?
The Earth's outermost layer, the crust, is composed mostly of lighter elements like oxygen and silicon because these elements are more buoyant and rise to the surface during the Earth's formation due to differentiation. Heavier elements tend to sink towards the Earth's core, leaving lighter elements to form the crust.
What forms earth crust?
thickness 1/8( a mixture of lighter and heavier rocks which were forced out from the mantle by volcanic activity)
