Tectonic plates move apart in opposite directions at a?
Its is Divergent Boundary, because it is moving Apart from each other. Convergent is moving together. convergent boundary
What is the theory for the cause of continents moving apart from each other?
Continental drift.
What does tectonic movement affect the earth?
The movement of tectonic plates has created all of the continents by moving apart. Mountain ranges were formed by the plates running into each other.
What theory that the continents slowly moving apart from each other?
Plate Tectonicsor continental drift
The Earth rotates on its axis. What is an axis?
Earth's axis is an invisible line, tilted at about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to its orbital plane.It goes through the Earth's poles. In general, an axis is any line that helps describe how some objects move. Imagine a string that goes right through the center of a ball (or any solid object). Pull the string taught and imagine spinning the object on the string. The string represents the part of the ball that is not really moving, or that is moving the least. In the case of objects moving in space, there is no physical string or other structure. The Earth naturally moves in a spinning fashion, around an imaginary line called the axis. In the case of a freely spinning body, the axis will contain the point known as the center of mass.
If the ocean floor is continuously spreading apart is the surface of the earth growing?
no, because as well as moving apart in other areas the plates are moving together, and being destroyed, so the surface of the earth always stay the same
What are landforms in Africa?
Land forms are the different types of land fromed by the earth's plates moving towards each other, or apart from each other.

Why is the moon spinning around the Earth and not any other planet?
The gravity of the earth is pulling it into orbit.
What could still exist if earth stopped spinning?
rocks, the other planents
Why is the Andromeda galaxy moving toward earth?
