If an object is moving initially, then no force is needed to keep it moving.
The earth formed out of clouds of material that revolved around the young sun shortly after its birth.
Since the earth was in motion as it formed, and there's nothing to stop it, it continues in motion.
It's true that a force is required to CHANGE the speed or direction of an object's motion. The earth's direction
of motion is constantly changing ... and it winds up traveling a path around the sun that's very nearly circular.
The force that accomplishes that constant 'bending' of the earth's motion is the force of gravitation that draws
the earth and sun toward each other.

What makes the earth crust move?
The vibration of the techtonic plates. :)
What kind of fault happens under the ocean?
the answer is an earthquake because the plates move so suddenly it makes the earth shake so therefore it would be called an earthquake!
Would way will an unbalanced force move?
The unbalanced force on an object will cause a change in direction towards the lesser force
What direction of the gravitational force and centripetal force on a satellite?
The gravitational force on a satellite is towards the center of the Earth. The gravitational force IS the centripetal force is this case, so the centripetal force pulls the satellite towards the center of the Earth. There is no balancing force that pulls the satellite outwards (if there were, it wouldn't accelerate, i.e., change direction).
How do you make a toy car move by force?
you push it
What are the uses of gravitational force?
Gravitation force makes the Earth move around the sun and also makes the moon go around the Earth. Our weight is the gravitational force of the Earth acting on us. For example; the gravitational force of the moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth.

What forces keep the Earth moving?
No force makes the Earth move. It has enough momentum to continue moving through space.
What is done when force makes an object move?
When a force makes an object move, work is done.
Which force makes the leaves of plants move?
The natural force wind makes the leaves plants move.
What makes a tectonic plate move what layer makes up this plate?
Tectonic plates are part of the Earth's crust. They move because they float on top of the Earth's mantle, which is a layer of hot liquid rock, and there are currents in the mantle which exert force on the crust.
What force makes it harder to move things?
Friction makes it harder to move things.
What is the name of the force that makes the earth orbit the sun that starts with C?
The name of the force that makes the earth orbit the sun doesn't start with ' C '. The force that does it is the force of gravity.
These makes electricity move?
electromotive force
What force makes electrons move?
An Electro Motive Force "EMF".
What force makes things move?
Any force can be used to make something move. It is kind of the nature of forces.
What is the force which makes the car move faster down the slope?
gravitational force
