Do rocks in the earth shift into new position?
knowing that every thing in and on earth moves, yes it can shift positions
The spectral lines from distant galaxies do not match spectral lines on Earth due to?
wavelength shift
The surface of the earth moves violently in an what?
The surface of the earth moves violently in an earthquake. This occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the earths crust. Anything from a volcano to a tectonic plate shift can cause an earthquake.
What is the difference between a real north and a geographic north on earth?
The geographic north is the center of the North Pole. It never moves. Real norths are magnetic norths. They shift every year.
The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the Earth's rotation is called the .?

Does a red shift indicates that objects are moving toward earth?
Red shift occurs when an object moves away from the observer. So as you are on Earth, it is when objects move away from Earth. (Blue shift as it moves closer.) A star's red shift could be due to losing energy to gravity.
What is the for the change in a stars spectrum when it moves away from earth?
Doppler shift
The apparent shift in the spectrum of a star as it moves toward or away from the earth is explained by the phenomenon known as the?
Doppler effect. This effect causes the wavelengths of light from a star to appear shorter (blueshifted) as it moves towards the Earth and longer (redshifted) as it moves away, providing valuable information about the star's motion in space.
Does the velocity of a star toward or away from earth determine measuring the shift of its spectral lines?
Yes. If the star is moving away from the Earth, its spectral lines will shift towards the red end of the spectrum. If it is moving towards the Earth, its spectral lines will shift towards the violet end of the spectrum. This is due to Doppler effect.
The spectral lines from distant galaxies do not match spectral lines on Earth due to?
wavelength shift
What is an increase in the wavelength of light as a galaxy moves away from earth?
Red Shift
What is the name for the change in a stars spectrum when it moves away from the earth?
It is called The Doppler Shift

What would red shift do to helium's Fraunhofer lines?
The location of those lines would be shifted to a longer wavelength (or lower frequency or energy) -- ie, towards the red part of the visible spectrum. In other words, a red shift.
What happenes if the earth's crust moves suddenly along a fault?
A sudden shift of the earth's crust along a fault could result in an earthquake.
