How long does it take plate tectonic to move?
Plate tectonics move about 2 centimeters every year. This is a very small amount of movement. Predicted in 2,000,000 years there will me another major difference in the formation of the continents
Why did earths continents shift?
They didn't. If you take out all the water from the seas and ocean, you would see the continents are still connected by land (save for the faults). Unless the tectonic plates were reduced to the incredibly small sizes therefore allowing them to shift like you are misled to believe, there is no chance of the continents shifting as they are all part of the ground, not floating.
How does the shape and size of the continents today help support the Theory of Continental Drift?
If you take a map and cut out all the Continent, you can see that they fit together almost perfectly, like a giant puzzle. This idea supports the fact that all the continents were connected in one large landmass.
Does soil erosion cause acid rain?
Kinda-sorta. All rains can cause soil erosion, as it doesn't take much for running water to cut channels and move loose dirt about.
What is the effect of changes in sea level on the shoreline?
That depends on the shore ... at a cliff there is little change, on a gentle slope then the "shore" will move quite a bit. And in a place like Florida it wouldn't take much to drown the state.
How much force does it take to move 1500 lbs in a wheeled container?
A lot.
Why did it take so long for for the continents to move to where they are today?
it took so long because, the earths mantel is solid
How much force does it take to break a LEGO brick?
a bit of force, not allot of force.
How does mass affect distance when the force applied is the same?
well think of it like having a small object with little mass then a large object with a lot of mass. Hitting the big object takes more force to make it move and the little object does not take nearly as much force to make it move. i hope this helped!
Why does it take more force to move a basketball than a feather?
becausevthe basletball is heavier.
Which would take less force to move a heavy object or a light weight object?
When you include the effects of friction, it takes less force to move a light-weight object. If you can get the objects into a frictionless environment, then any force, no matter how small, can move any object, no matter how heavy.
How much force does it take to break a board?
force is not a think it is only in star wars
How much wind force will it take to destroy a house?
No
Does seafloor spreading make continents move apart?
yes, but very slowly. it would take thousands of years for any real distance to be created
How much force does take to break an arm?
it takes about 9 pounds of force to break your arm
