because all the earths plates are constantly moving, this means while some plates are moving apart creating new land under the sea, other plates are sliding over one another, so one plate sinks down into the Earth's mantle.
~Underwater mountain chain
~Seafloor spreading takes place
~Old crust is being swallowed up into trenches
~The amount of crust always stays the same
Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.
A satellite is in geostationary orbit when it orbits the Earth at the same speed and direction as the Earth's rotation. This allows the satellite to appear stationary from the surface of the Earth. Measurements of its position and velocity can confirm that it is in geostationary orbit.
A geostationary orbit is when a satellite orbits at the same speed as the Earth's rotation, allowing it to remain fixed above a specific point on the Earth's equator. This type of orbit is often used for communication satellites because they can maintain a constant connection with a specific location on Earth.
No satellites stays exactly still as they could not remain in orbit, but probably you are meaning a geostationary satellite. The orbit of these satellites matches the speed of the earth turning underneath them, so they remain above the same geographical point on the earth.
The curved path that a satellite follows is called an orbit. This orbit is typically elliptical in shape and allows the satellite to remain in constant motion around the celestial body it is orbiting, such as the Earth.
We certainly hope not! If Mars were to be disturbed from its orbit to approach the Earth so closely, it would probably destroy the Earth as well. No, Mars will remain in its orbit and the Earth will remain in OUR orbit, and with any luck, the planets will never meet.

A satellite in an equatorial orbit flies along the plane of the Earth's equator. If an orbit does not lie at an equatorial orbit, then it will not remain at a fixed state.
It explains why the planets remain in in orbit around the sun. Also, why moons orbit their planets. It also explains why humans remain on earth.

The minimum altitude of a low Earth orbit is approximately 160 kilometers (100 miles) above the Earth's surface. This altitude allows satellites to remain in orbit while being close enough to the Earth to effectively carry out their functions.

Yes this is called Geosynchronous Orbit. This is when a satellite is in orbit but never moves in relation to its point on Earth.
No. Earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. Earth's orbit depends on the mass of the sun, not Earth's rotation. Earth's rotation does, however, give the appearance that celestial objects revolve around it.
No satellites stays exactly still as they could not remain in orbit, but probably you are meaning a geostationary satellite. The orbit of these satellites matches the speed of the earth turning underneath them, so they remain above the same geographical point on the earth.
Earth remains in orbit around the Sun because the gravitational pull between the Earth and Sun is balanced by the centripetal reaction force, i.e. the angular acceleration, of the Earth's orbit.
