What is a large body of water on the earths surface?
One example of a large body of water on Earth's surface is an ocean, such as the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean. Oceans are immense bodies of saltwater that cover a significant portion of the Earth's surface.
What percentage of the earths surface is livable?
15% of the earths surface is livable. Of the 28% of the surface of the Earth that is land, arable land (that can be farmed) accounts for about one eighth (13%), there are permanent crops on about a twentieth (5%), permanent pastures on a quarter (26%) forest and woodlands cover one third (32%) cities 1.5% (and increasing!) and other unusable areas about a third (30%)
What is an area where one of the huge plates under the earths surface slides under or pulls away from the edge of another plate and magma rises to the surface of the earth?
This phenomenon is known as a subduction zone. It occurs when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to the melting of the descending plate and the formation of magma. This magma can then rise to the surface as volcanic activity.
What is One half of a spere that makes up the earths surface?
Hemisphere
How much of the earths surface is covered is covered by land?
about one fourth
The movements of large segmants of the earths crust?
Plate Tectonics describe the movement of large sections of the Earth's crust. In theory, all of the current continents rest on relatively individual sections or "plates" of the Earth's surface. These plates are in a constant state of change and motion because of both the Earth's magnetic field and movements beneath our planet's surface. This theory is commonly linked to the "one continent" called Pangea.
How does the area of Earths surface covered by the oceans compare with the area of the continents?
One third is surface and the rest is the sea.
What is the name of the igneous rock that is formed under earths surface?
obsidian is one of them

What is a major cause of erosion on earths surface?
one major contributor is moving water
Which type of invisible radiation can be detected from earths surface?
Radio waves are one example.
How much of the Earths land surface do plains regions cover?
Deserts cover 33% of the land surface of the earth.
