It all depends on the plates that are constantly moving underground. If they move with enough force, it can be felt on the surface. It just depends on where it is that the plates are moving.


What will happen to Australia if plate movements continue?

I believe all the continets will continue to seperate and over lots of time, they will all connect again but on the opposite side of the earth. All the continets were 1 at a time and slowly seperated to make them Individual continets. If they keep doing this, a pattern will occur and 1day all the continets will be connected once again.

How does motion in a vertical circle differ from that in a horizontal circle?

During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.
