Is a change in shape a clue that indicate a chemical change?
It is a physical change unless it is caught on fire to mold into a different shape then it would be a chemical change. The substance that does change shape does not develop new chemical properties.
Why do you think geologists use drill bits covered with small diamonds to drill into the earths crust?
Well, diamonds are hard minerals, and if they are used in a drill, it could help with the power given and make the course, and power of the drill increase. Diamonds are minerals and they are found in South Africa. You dig them up and they are contained in a rock called "kimberlite" after that you give the shape, size and polish the diamond. They may use them for other things, not only jewelry. They are also used in: Telecommunication, rock drill bit, mine shack..... This information is true, i will post more soon! ;)
Why do flat maps have distortions?
because there has to be some kind of distortion of earths spherical shape
Do gases keep their shape?
Gases can NOT change shape because gases don't have a 'shape', it's the container in which they are held that has a shape)
Can a solid shape change?
Yes, a solid shape can change. If the heat rises above a certain temperature that which a solid can handle (the melting point) than the solid begins a physical change into a liquid.
How does tension change the shape earths crust?
because when it acts on the surface it stretches the rock to make craters or " dents" on the crust.
What is a change in the volume or shape of earths crust?
Deformation
Any change in the volume or shape of the earths crust called?
after shock
How does tension change shape of Earth's crust?
because when it acts on the surface it stretches the rock to make craters or " dents" on the crust.
The process that shape the earths crust by forming new features are called?
the process that shape earths crust by forming new features is called endogenious :)
How does stress affect earth's crust?
Shearing, tension, and compression work over millions of years to change the shape and volume of rock. Those are types of stress.
How stress affect earth's crust?
Shearing, tension, and compression work over millions of years to change the shape and volume of rock. Those are types of stress.
Did the earthquake in Japan change the earths axis?
There has been a change in the shape of earth crust due to this terrible earthquake caused by displacement over Asian tectonic plates. This has resulted in 8 feet around/ over the epicentre. Such a huge change in shape of earth's crust, resulting change in earth's momentum/ GD2 around Sun; resulting our day is now shorter by fraction of micro-second!
How does weathering and erosion shape earths surface?
Weathering and erosion shape earths surface by changing earths surface by having extreme forces that change earth.
Did Pangaea change the earths shape?
No! pangea changed the sufaces of the earth not the shape
What process shape the earths crust by forming new features?
the answer endogenous yousif solaka :p
What is the earths shape called?
The surface of the earth is called the crust. I hope this is the answer you need.
