Why are rocks on the moon older than any rocks on earth?
On Earth, plate tectonics and erosion have removed all of the rock that was originally surface rock, exposing the underlying crustal rocks and releasing magma to form new igneous formations. On the Moon, neither process is at work. Meteoroids striking the Moon have piled the rocks up and created a layer of fine powder there, but the exterior rocks are still those that formed shortly after the Moon itself.
Do rocks in the earth shift into new position?
Yes, rocks in the Earth can shift positions due to movements in the Earth's crust caused by tectonic plate interactions. This can result in processes like earthquakes and mountain building, where rocks are subjected to immense pressure and movement that can cause them to shift into new positions.
Do rocks in the earth never shift into new position?
They do. Huge sections of Earth's crust called tectonic plates move at a few centimeters per year. On smaller scales and over shorter periods of time, rocks may be moved by water, glaciers, and mass movements such as landslides.
Are the continents and oceans always been in the same positions they are today?
No, the positions of continents and oceans on Earth's surface have changed over millions of years due to the process of plate tectonics. Continents have drifted apart and collided to form new landmasses, changing the configuration of oceans. This movement is ongoing, with the positions continuing to shift gradually over time.
When fracturing and slipping into new positions rocks along the fault release energy in the form of vibrations called?
Seismic Waves

What is New Zealand made out of?
earth, rocks, stones, water, sand, trees, grass... the normal stuff really.
Why they add new zodiac sign?
The addition of a new zodiac sign, such as Ophiuchus, is based on the precession of the Earth's axis over time. This phenomenon causes the constellations to shift in relation to the Earth's position, leading some astrologers to include Ophiuchus as a thirteenth sign. However, this change is not widely accepted or recognized in mainstream astrology.
