What causes volcanic activity in the middle of a lithosphere plate?
the plates crash over each other.
When does an earthquake occur along a fault?
plates of the earth crash into each other along faults causing an earthquake
How does satellites avoid collision?
The vast majority of satellites are in geo-stationary orbits. This means, they travel around the Earth at the same speed that the Earth rotates - making them appear in the same place. One example is the GPS satellite network. Other satellites that actually orbit around the Earth, are at a different altitude - so they would (thoretically) never collide with a stationary one. Those that are orbiting, are placed in such a way, that they also avoid each other.
What are two names of different satellites?
Anything in orbit could be considered a satellite. There is one natural satellite - the moon. There are hundreds of navigation, communications, weather, science/experimental and military/intelligence satellites in orbit. There are thousands of bits of "space junk" orbiting the earth at present.
Where does earthquake occurs?
They happen along the fault lines that separate or crash into each other. The planet is made of Tectonic plates that are constantly moving, and that's why earthquakes happen
What is it called when two satellites almost crash into each other?
Gravity
Why does the moon not crash on earth but stay in space and not float away or into earth?
The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
What all are the names of artificial satellites?
Artificial satellites are classified into various categories, and their names vary widely. Some well-known examples include the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station (ISS), GPS satellites, and communication satellites like Intelsat and Iridium. Other notable satellites include weather satellites like GOES and scientific satellites such as Voyager and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Each satellite typically has a unique name or designation based on its mission or the organization that launched it.
Do satellites repel each other?
No, satellites do not repel each other. The gravitational force between satellites is attractive, which means they are actually drawn towards each other. This force helps maintain their orbits around a planet.
Name all the satellites?
There are thousands of satellites in orbit around Earth, each serving different purposes such as communication, weather forecasting, and Earth observation. Some well-known satellites include the Hubble Space Telescope, International Space Station, GPS satellites, and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Where do artificial satellites come from?
Artificial satellites come from all over the world. Each country send their own satellites into space.
How is it that the satellites do not clash with each other?
There is actually a surprisingly small amount of satellites considering the amount of space they are spread over. They don't hit each other mainly because they are very small, but they also have small rockets on them so they can make small changes in their direction if it looks like they might hit something.
What is a small rocky particle that moves through space and most often is about the size of a grain of sand?
A small rocky object that orbits the Sun is an asteroid. The Asteroid Belt, a collection of many asteroids, is located between Mars and Jupiter.
How does the earth the stay in space?
Both the Sun and the Earth exert gravitational pull on each other; the resulting tension causes the Earth to remain in space rather than crash into the Sun.
How does space junk get in space?
Space junk is usually the result of human-made objects that are no longer operational or have been discarded in space. This includes defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, fragments from collisions, and debris from missions. Over time, these objects can collide with each other, creating more debris and increasing the amount of space junk in orbit.
What is it called when cars crash into each other, resulting in a collision?
When cars crash into each other, resulting in a collision, it is called a car accident.
What are some different satellites?
Satellites can be classified into several categories, including communications satellites, which relay television and internet signals; weather satellites, which monitor atmospheric conditions; and Earth observation satellites, used for mapping and environmental monitoring. Additionally, there are scientific satellites designed for research in space or astronomy, and navigational satellites like those in the GPS system that provide location data. Other types include military satellites for defense purposes and space telescopes, which observe distant celestial objects. Each type serves specific functions essential for modern technology and research.
