What else can I help you with?
If one of the earths plates moves 5 centimeters every year how far will it move in 500 years?
Twenty five meters.
Of True North and Magnetic North and Compass North which way is really up?
True North is the real North, following along the lines of longitude which converge at the North Pole, the farthest geographically North point on the planet, and the rotational axis of the planet. Magnetic North and Compass North are both the same thing, with the compass pointing along Magnetic North. Magnetic North however, is not the real North. If you were to follow your compass as far North as it could point, you would end up on the Prince of Wales Island in the Northwest Territories of Canada, over 1,500 miles away from the North Pole. Magnetic North can be adjusted to True North on your compass by knowing the local magnetic variation of your area and adding/subtracting accordingly. A third North is Grid North, which follows the Grid Lines on a standard map. At the South Pole, every direction is True North, so Grid North is used instead and can be found by following the Prime Meridian northwards. Hope that helps.
How did volcanoes affect the early earths atmosphere?
Early volcanoes discharged different combinations of gases into the Earth's atmosphere creating rain, which cooled the planet and formed solid land masses, and every other element discovered presently.
How do rotation and tilt each affect the ammount of solar energy that differenty parts of earth receive?
They affect because earths rotation can go larger and sorter from sun and ,tilt affects because it can move earth at every side and that has a shadow in other part of earth.
How long does it take to grow berries in heartgold?
I believe it takes approximately 16 hours. You have to water it every 1-2 hours for maximum profit.
About how do earths magnetic poles reverse?
every 250,000 years :)
Earths magnetic poles reverse approximately every years?
The process of the reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles is called a magnetic flip. This occurs every 4 or 5 times per million years.
Minerals in igneous rocks can show the direction of earths?
The Earth magnetic field changes approximately every 200,000 thousand years.
About how often do earths magnetic poles?
every 250,000 years :)
About how often do earths magnetic poles reverse?
Every 250,000 years, when it farts
Why do scientists think that earths' magnetic field has not always pointed north?
Every 100,000 years or so, the Earths magnetic field shifts direction. North becomes south, south becomes north.
Why do the poles reverse every 100000 years?
The Earth's magnetic poles reverse approximately every 100,000 years due to the complex dynamics of the planet's molten outer core, where convection currents and the movement of molten iron generate the magnetic field. Over time, changes in these currents can weaken the magnetic field, leading to instability and eventual reversal. This process is influenced by various factors, including the Earth's rotation and the arrangement of tectonic plates. The exact mechanisms and timing of these reversals are still subjects of scientific study.
What happens to earths magnetic poles over time?
Earth's magnetic poles are not fixed; they undergo gradual shifts and periodic reversals over geological timescales. The magnetic field can drift, causing the poles to move, sometimes by several kilometers per year. Additionally, every few hundred thousand years, the magnetic poles can completely reverse, a phenomenon known as geomagnetic reversal. These changes are driven by the dynamics of the Earth's molten outer core, where the magnetic field is generated.
How often does the suns poles reverse?
The Sun's magnetic poles reverse approximately every 11 years during the solar cycle. This phenomenon is part of the Sun's complex magnetic behavior, which influences solar activity, including sunspots and solar flares. The pole reversal occurs when the Sun's magnetic field undergoes a complete flip, with the north and south poles switching places. This cycle can vary slightly in duration and intensity but typically aligns with the solar cycle's peak activity.
How often does the sun's poles flip?
The sun's magnetic poles flip approximately every 11 years, coinciding with the sunspot cycle. This phenomenon is known as solar magnetic field reversal.
A space curiosity that returns to earths view approximately every 76 years?
Halley's Comet
Earths magnetic field results from movements in what?
The Earth's magnetic field results from electric currents in the mantle and outer core around the iron solid core; every electricmagnet is prduced as a result of electricity flowing around a iron core - the same principle works in our own magnetic field.
