Where do continental air masses form?
Continental air masses form in the United States
What are the land masses called that strat with a c?
Continents are land masses. Continent starts with the letter c.
What projection map shows size of various land masses?
The equal-area projection shows size of various land masses.
What is the major land masses on earth are called?
continents
How gravity created in earth?
Gravity isn't created, it is a fact of nature - all masses attract, if one or more masses are vast, such as earth or another planet, the attraction is similarly vast. The reason why masses attract is not understood but an understanding is part of on-going fundamental nuclear physics research.
What is a theory that describes movement of land masses?
The theory that describes the movement of land masses is called plate tectonics. It explains how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below and how the interactions between these plates result in various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
The movement of the Earth's huge land masses is known as?
The movement of the Earth's huge land masses is known as plate tectonics. This theory explains how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large, rigid plates that move and interact with each other, leading to activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
What is the purpose of plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics helps explain the movement of Earth's lithosphere plates, which create earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building. It also plays a crucial role in shaping the Earth's surface and influencing the distribution of continents and oceans.
What theory says that land masses move slowly?
The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large plates that move slowly over the mantle. This movement of the plates causes processes like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.
How do you load calculate in building?
Building load is calculated by computing the volume of built masses and multiplying by standard weight. Divide it by the area of the surfaces of the masses which are touching the ground.
What is the difference between plate tectonics and tectonic plate?
There are two types of tectonic plates:oceanic plates, thin and dense composed mostly of basalt rockcrustal plates, thick and light composed mostly of granite rock
When continents break apart into separate land masses what it is called?
When continents break apart into separate land masses, it is called continental drift or plate tectonics. This process is driven by the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates.
Force that cause continents to drift?
plate tectonics The friction between the convective masses in the mantle and the crust overlaying it causes the crust to move.
What was it called when the land masses separated?
The process of land masses separating is known as continental drift or plate tectonics. It is the theory that explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere, resulting in the drifting of continents over geologic time scales.
When continents break apart into separate land masses is called what?
When continents break apart into separate land masses, it is called continental drift or plate tectonics. This process is driven by the movement of the Earth's lithosphere plates, leading to the separation of previously connected land masses.
Why is air masses greater on top of mountain?
because the air pressure is more dense
What effects can air masses have on climate?
