What formula do scientists use to predict how far a plate will move in a certain amount of time?
Distance = Speed x TimeFor example, let's say a plate moves a distance of 5 centimeters in one year. So, the speed of the plate is 5cm/yr. You can use this speed to predict how far the plate will move in 1000 years.Distance= (5cm/1yr) x (1000yr)=5000cm
Predict how might earth's surface change as tectonic plates continue to move?
they are greater
What caused breakup of Pangaea?
The earth is broken up into plates. Even when the world was called Pangaea, there were still plates. The plates begin to move, however, only about 1 cm a year. This is why we now have continents. Scientists predict that a few 100 years from now, the world will look even more different. If you type in the earths tech tonic plates into wikipedia, it might help you a little more than i did.
When did the christchurch particular fault last move and how can scientists decide this?
no no no
When plates of the earth move apart scientists says they i g?
diverge
Do isobars help you predict which way the air will move?
Yes they do. Scientists make maps with isobars on them.
Do scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquakes?
Yes, scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquake activity, because volcanic and earthquake activity go together. Volcanic eruptions spew out lava whose source is in the magma of the mantle. Earthquakes are caused by heat from the mantle making crustal [or lithospheric or tectonic] plates move.
Why it is difficult for scientists to predict a volcanic eruption?
Irregularity of the plates as they move against each other, very limited knowledge of lava flow, and a lack of understanding about how exactly Vulcanism occurs.

What do scientists call the study of how living things move?
locomotorology

no no no
What is the data structure used to predict the next move in chess?
A decision tree or a weighted graph.
How often does an active earthquake fault move?
There is no set timing. Faults move when pressure has built up sufficiently. Unfortunately we cannot predict such events.
When plates of the earth move apart scientists says they i g?
diverge
