True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
How do cells appear when convection currents are causing their motion?
move in circular motion.
As a motorcycle takes a sharp turn the type of motion that occurs is called motion?
circular
What is the motion of earths plates?
Slow and constant.
What creates earths motion?
the suns gravity pull creates the earths movement as well as the other planets

Circular motion occurs only near the earths surface?
False. A contra example; Triton has a circular motion about Neptune Newton's first law of motion: a body remains a rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a force. If there is a centripetal force towards a point acting on a body that is moving then that body will have circular motion. The body and point do not have to be on earth.
Surface Waves?
waves that travels only on the surface
What is the correct name for circular motion?
If the motion is truly in the form of a circle, the phrase uniform circular motion describes it appropriately. This means that the object is in a constant state of motion about a fixed point at a constant distance from that point. Circular motion can be considered an acceleration, because an acceleration describes any change in velocity or direction. Since circular motion involves constant change in direction, the object exhibits constant acceleration.

What describes changes in air motion resulting from earths rotation?
coriolis effects
Is earths surface in constant motion?
Yes, relative to any observer not attached to the earth's surface.
What is a fractured surface on the earths crust when a mass of rocks is in motion?
Fault
Which type of wave is characterized by circular motion?
Surface waves from an earthquake shake the ground back and forth and up and down. So basically in a circular motion. This wave is the most dangerous wave released during and earthquake and it comes after the p and s waves. The Surface wave is the last wave that comes after the other 2. So yea' these surface waves move in a circular motion
In surface waves the combination of transverse and longitudinal motions produce what?
circular motion
What is circular motion?
Circular Motion -a motion along a circular path or the motion of an object in a circular Example -blades of a ceiling fan when the fan is switched on. or The motion of body along the circular path is called circular motion
Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?
surface waves
