Would a weathering cause a fast change to the earths surface?
yes it will
Why does gravity hold moon with the earth?
Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.
How fast do the earths crusts move?
As fast as your fingernails grow
What is meaning wind erosion?
Wind erosion, is the process of wearing away of landforms on the earths surface by the action of wind (ie, fast moving air), movement, motion and aggresiveness.
How do water erosion effect the earths surface?
Some streams or rivers can go really fast through plateaus and stuff, on the way they can wash the sediments and rocks that were there before. This causing erosion.
How does gravity affect an object in motion?
it pulls the object towards the earth which kind of slows it down i guess. or is that friction? For an object travelling in the Earths atmosphere, or near to the Earth above the atmosphere, gravity provides a force pulling the object towards the centre of the Earth. Unless the object is travelling fast enough, what is called the escape velocity, this gravity force will ultimately cause the object to fall back to the surface. Friction is something else, the friction with the air in the atmosphere also slows the object, but this force acts in opposition to the direction of motion, not towards the Earths centre. To compute the trajectory of the object you need to take both forces into account.
How fast is the earths moon moving?
Like I know that.....
How fast is the wave board?
as fast as you can make it go or if you get pulled along by a car on 1 you can go as fast as the car can go
Do earths plates move fast?
2.5 centimeters per year
Why is a scratch spin in figure skating called a scratch spin?
The scratch spin is an upright spin where the free leg is crossed over the skating knee and then pushed down towards the ice. As the arms are pulled in towards the chest, a blur effect can be achieved if the spin is done fast. It is the most popular spin among figure skaters.
What is a good sentence for surface currents?
Surface currents can be very fast on water.
How close does an asteroid have to be sucked into earths gravitational pull?
There is no real distance at which this occurs. Asteroids are generally moving too fast to be simply pulled in by earth's gravity, though their paths can be altered. As evidence of this, ab object that is simply pulled in by Earth's gravity would strike the surface at close to escape velocity, which is about 25,000 mph for Earth. Most asteroids are moving much faster. In many cases, a collision happens when an orbital resonance develops. Earth's gravity periodically jostles the asteroid's path so that it will pass fairly close to earth at regular intervals until that paths intersect and a collision occurs.
