What is the answer to Earths surface can be changed by natural forces such as?
Umm, I think the crust.
Why has the Moon's surface features changed?
Been blasted with meteorites for billions of years
When there is a solar eclipse is the moon cold?
At the time of a solar eclipse, nothing on the moon's surface has changed from the way it always is at the time of a 'New Moon'.
What are the forces that generate tides?
Tides result from differences in the gravitational forces exerted at different points on the Earth's surface by another body (such as the Moon).
What fraction of the moons gravity is the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is essentially identical to 100% of the moon's gravity, and results in gravitational forces on its surface that average about 16% of the corresponding forces on the Earth's surface.
Why haven't the craters on the moon changed?
On Earth wind and rain cause erosion which changes the surface. The moon has no atmosphere thus nothing to cause change.
What best supports the idea that the surface of the moon has changed very little?
The lack of atmosphere on the moon means there is no wind or weather to erode its surface, preserving features for long periods of time. The absence of tectonic activity also means that there are fewer ways for the surface to be reworked or changed over time. In addition, the moon's slow rotation rate means that impacts from meteoroids are the primary source of change on its surface, which are relatively infrequent.
Has the Earth's moon's surface changed in the past three billion years?
Yes, the Earth's moon's surface has changed over the past three billion years due to impacts from asteroids and comets. These impacts have created craters, lava flows, and other geological features that modify the moon's surface over time.
What forces shape the moon's surface?
meteorites are one force when they impact. However, the key force acting on the moon is the force of gravity. The gravitational force is = G (m1 m2)/r2. Where G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one object, earth let's say, and m2 is the mass another object, say the earth. "r" is the distance between the two objects. The earth mass is larger, which is why it holds the moon in an orbit around itself. But the moon still effects the earth with tidal forces on the oceans and atmosphere.
What is the surface of the moon called?
The outer surface of the moon is called the crust.
Does the moon have earthquakes?
The moon does not have earthquakes in the same way that we experience them on Earth. However, the moon does have moonquakes, which are caused by the gravitational forces of the Earth and the heating and cooling of the moon's interior. They can produce shaking and vibrations on the moon's surface.
Is the moon a sphere?
Yes, the moon is approximately spherical in shape. Its gravitational forces act to pull it into a rounded shape, although it is not a perfect sphere due to irregularities in its surface.
