If two continental land masses converge, and are therefore united, then the collision should cause a net loss of intertidal zone and coastal habitat.

How are fossils useful evidence of continental drift?
Fossil are important to the Continental drift because fossils were found in areas where they should not have been found. Like across the world.
What should a student use to compare the masses of two small rocks?
no we use relative mass
Comparison between elastic and inelastic collision?
In an elastic collision, all initial kinetic energy is fully restored as final kinetic energy. where nothing is converted into noise, heat or any other form of energy. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is "lost" to thermal or sound energy.
When you throw mud to the wall it sticks to the wall According to newtons 3rd law the wall should throw it back then why it sticks to the wall?
There is no problem in this case from Newton's third law because the collision is not happening instantly. During the collision the mud is flattened and slowed by a reactive force from the wall (according to the third law) and the kinetic energy that is lost is converted to heat in the wall and the mud and also the deformation of the mud. After the collision no speed remains and the mud sticks to the wall. The problem is that you forgot to consider the time of the collision and that the mud itself is not a rigid object; it can absorb energy.
What two types of air collide to form tornadoes?
Not necessarily. Tornadoes are not a direct result of collisions of air masses but they can result as part of the overall pattern. When two different air masses meet the result is something called a front. The kind of weather that results depends on the kinds of air masses involved and how they move. When a cooler air mass retreats and a warmer one advances it is called a warm front. These can result in rain or snow showers* and can occasionally produce thunderstorms. Thunderstorms along warm fronts are not usually severe so you generally won't find tornadoes. When a cooler air mass pushes into a warmer one* it is called a cold front. If there is enough moisture a cold front can result in heavy snow or rain and often results in thunderstorms in the warmer months. These thunderstorms can become severe and produce tornadoes. A significant portion of tornadoes are associated with cold fronts. If a dry air mass pushes into a moist air mass the result is a dry line. A dry line is the type of front most conducive tot he formation of supercells, the type of thunderstorm most likely to produce tornadoes. *Note that warmer and colder are relative terms in this case. The air masses don't need to be warm and cold, just that one is cooler than the other. e.g. one can be cold and the other very cold (this will not lead to tornadoes) or one can be hot and the other mild.
What forms from collision of continental crust and oceanic crust?
A basic mountain should be formed from the collision of continental crust and oceanic crustAnswerWhen an oceanic and a continental crust collide, the heavier oceanic crust tends to subduct under the lighter continental crust. Because of the collision and corresponding compression and also because of volcanism related to dehydration and melting of the subducted plate a mountain range is formed. The Andes mountain range is a, if not the, most typical example.
If only your car is damaged and you have collision will insurance cover it?
If its comp and collision then it should be fully covered
Should one buy collision insurance for car rentals?
If you have collision on your existing policy then it should transfer to the rental car, please verify this with your agent.
To increase the force of gravity between two objects how should you change the masses?
Increase the masses.
What is the minimum speed that the airbag should deploy in a front end collision in a 2000 Mountaineer?
The force of the collision has to great enough
When another vehicle is about to hit you from the side and there is room in front of your vehicle you should do what to avoid the collision?
Speed up to avoid the collision.
What results when two ocean plates meet and converge?
it should form a underwater earthquake and causes a Tsunami
Can you slow down to look at a collision if you curious?
You should not slow down when you pass a collision because then the people behind you might run into you and cause another collision. If you're that curious, pull over.
If someone is injured in a collision you should?
call for medical help

You have no collision coverage and was hit by another car what can you do?
Collision coverage covers accidents you are at fault for. Their insurance should pay for any damages to your vehicle.
