How many motions is the earth undergoing?

Earth goes under millions of motions - itself, the pull of the moon, orbiting the sun, which orbits a galaxy where the stars change position all the time, and the galaxy is still stretching. Now why millions? Because everything has its own gravity, no matter how small, and can affect in even the slightest bit to our orbit. So, I should say billions. Now, for those who think that answer is wrong, take this one then: Relative to the sun, 2.


How are the plate motions connected with motions within the rest of earth mantle?

Plate motions are driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Heat generated from the core causes mantle material to rise, move laterally, and then sink back down in a cycle. The moving mantle material drags the tectonic plates along with it, influencing their motions and interactions at the surface.


What are the three motions or movements of the moon?

One is revolution and another is rotation that's is all I know for now sorry hope this helped a little. Comment. I think they are: 1) Rotation about its axis. 2) Orbiting around Earth. 3) Orbiting around the Sun.


Why are there so many craters on the moon?

The moon has many craters because it lacks an atmosphere to protect it from impacts by meteoroids and asteroids. When these space rocks collide with the moon's surface, they create craters that remain preserved due to the moon's inactive geological processes.


The earth undergoes three main motions of space what are these?

The three major motions that the Earth undergos in space are Revolution(Orbit), Rotation, and Precession

Do counter clock motions of the ocean cause of the Moon's gravity?

The moon's gravity doesn't cause those motions, and those motions certainly don't cause the moon's gravity.

Which two motions cause the Moon to show a complete cycle of phases each month when viewed from New York State?

The two motions that cause the Moon to show a complete cycle of phases each month are its orbit around the Earth and the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the angle between the Earth, Moon, and Sun changes, resulting in the various phases of the Moon. Simultaneously, the Earth's rotation allows us in New York State to observe these phases over the course of the month as the Moon rises and sets at different times. Together, these motions create the full lunar cycle we see each month.
