Knowledge of Earth's plate tectonics allows seismologists, geologists, and various other scientists to predict what the face of the planet will look like in future, and what it has looked like in the past.
We can conclude that the density of the core and mantle are higher than that of the crust.
The continent with the lowest average annual precipitation is Antarctica.
Climate scientists estimate that the average temperature on Earth would be colder by approximately 30 degrees Celsius (54 degrees Fahrenheit). With our existing mix of gases in the atmosphere the average temperature on Earth is about 13C. The Earth's temperature without greenhouse gases would be -17C. There would be no life on Earth
The oceanic crust is the outermost layer of the lithosphere of the Earth. Scientists have estimated that its average age is around 200 million years.
60
it helps the scientists to predict future changes.
The continents are constantly shifting. There was never a time or location that it has happened more or less. Scientists estimate that they drift 2 cm (0.8 inch) per year on average.
Scientists estimate that velocirapters weighed about 15 kg on average.
We can conclude that the density of the core and mantle are higher than that of the crust.
Other than an estimate for Antarctica (average 2 km of ice cap), there are no reliable estimates of average continental elevation. However, Asia, North America, and Africa have large areas of relatively high elevation as compared to Europe and Australia.
The average human body contains 32.7 trillion cells, according to a recent study in 2013. By breaking down the number of cells by organs and cell types, the scientists were able to come up with this estimate.

It differs between each continent and year by year. However, the continents move about 6 cm on average per year. So it takes almost 17 years for the continents to move just one meter.
No. The average of a dataset is the point estimate for the mean of the population.
Asia is the one among the seven continents that has highest average annual precipitation. Mawsynram, Meghalaya, India is the wettest place in the world.
The continent with the lowest average annual precipitation is Antarctica.
Scientists estimate that about 3% to 8% of the population is gay. As homosexuality occurs fairly regularly in all demographics, it is fairly safe to say that the answer for middle school is the same.
