What force occurs where Earth's plates are moving apart?
The force occurring where Earth's plates are moving apart is tensional stress. This stress leads to the creation of new crust through processes like seafloor spreading and the formation of rift valleys.
What force keeps the earth moving in this path?
It is the centripetal force of the sun that's keeping the earth moving in its path
What did wegener think the force was that was moving the continents apart?
volcanos
What is a pulling apart force called?
A pulling apart force is typically called tension. This force occurs when two objects are being pulled away from each other.
Why earth is in motion and what external force is acting upon it?
If something is moving, no force is required for that something to continue moving. That doesn't mean there are no forces acting on Earth; for example, the Sun attracts Earth towards it. But that's not what keeps the Earth moving.
What is the name given to the force that tends to pull rocks apart?
The force that tends to pull rocks apart is called tensional stress. This stress occurs when rocks are being stretched in opposite directions, causing them to break and create faults or fractures in the Earth's crust.
What is the force that stretches or pulls apart the crust of the earth?
Tension stretches or pulls apart the crust.
What is the force that slows down moving things in water?
The force that slows down moving objects in water is called drag force. Drag force occurs due to the resistance of water molecules as they collide with the moving object, causing it to slow down.
What is the stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart?
it may be gravity
The stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart is called .?
tension
Why is there always friction when an object is moving on earth?
Friction occurs when two surfaces come in contact and rub against each other. In the case of an object moving on Earth, friction is present due to the interaction between the object and the surface it is moving on. This frictional force opposes the motion of the object, causing it to slow down.
What does the water keep moving on the surface and into the earth mean?
Being in the liquid form water keeps on moving on the surface and into the earth due to gravitation force of the Earth.
