What is the gravity on the moon lo?
About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.
Why are mountains and earthquakes two geologic features found on earths surface that are caused by the movement of crustal plates?
They are geologic features because when the crustal plates move its makes cracks on earth the the mountains are one because everytime the crustal plates move it breaks the earths surface and the dirt and rocks start gathering together
What is a super comet?
A super comet is one that passes very closely to earths surface. It is said that if a super comet hit earth, it could wipe out existence as we know it.
What substance changes from one state of matter to another at temperature and pressure experiencing earths surface?
Your question makes no sense. What substance changes from one state of matter to another (that is the first part and makes sense) at temperature and pressure experiencing earths surface? What on earth does that mean? pressure experiencing earths surface? What could it possibly mean? I really have no clue what you are trying to ask in the second part of the question. The first part however may give a clue to what you actually mean to ask. Maybe you mean "What substance changes from one state of matter to another at the temperature and pressure experienced on earths surface?" But using that as the question, there are literally hundreds or even thousands of correct answers. Here are a few Water, a liquid, changes to ice, a solid, and to steam, a gas and back to water Iodine can change from its solid form to a gas Ammonia can change from a liquid to a gas Freon can change from a liquid to a gas phosphorus can change from a solid to a gas gasoline, ether, liquid petroleum gas, naphtha, acetone, acetate all change from a liquid to a gas at atmosphere pressure at earths surface. Sodium changes from a solid to a gas. Hope this helps answer your question.
Where do scientists believe a hole in the ozone layer located?
it located at the earths surface write it down!
Is earths surface all one piece true or false?
No, it is made up of many different plates that are always shifting, thus creating earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes. Hope this helped!
