What is the motion of earths plates?
Slow and constant.
What creates earths motion?
the suns gravity pull creates the earths movement as well as the other planets
True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
What is earths motion through space?
rotating clock-wise (night and day)
What transfer of heat in the atmosphere by upward motion of air?
... is called "convection"
What is the motion of earths plates?
Slow and constant.
What one process sets the energy in the transfer atmosphere in motion?
Atmospheric circulation sets the energy in the transfer atmosphere in motion
What are devices that record the motion of the earths crust?
seismograph
What is the motion of the earths plate like?
Slow and constant.
What creates earths motion?
the suns gravity pull creates the earths movement as well as the other planets
What aspect of weather is affected by the Corolis motion?
air movement
True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
Why are telescopes placed in space above earths atmosphere?
Scintillation. Our atmosphere is in continous motion. Warm air changes the angle of EM waves passing through a little bit differently than cold air. The constant motion causes constant shifts in the waves. This is why the stars seem to twinkle. In space, there is no such distortion. Space borne telecopes see far clearer images because of this.
How does heat flow set your atmosphere in motion?
it does not
When graphing motion the steepness of a slope depends on?
It depends on what aspect of motion is being graphed: the displacement, speed or acceleration.
What is a fractured surface on the earths crust when a mass of rocks is in motion?
Fault
What is earths motion around the sun in the path called?
Orbit
