Does gravity cause groundwater to move through connected pores in earth's crust?
No, gravity does not directly cause groundwater to move through connected pores in the Earth's crust. Groundwater flow is primarily driven by differences in pressure gradients and the topography of the land surface. Gravity is involved in influencing the downward movement of water through the soil and rock layers, but the actual flow of groundwater is governed by hydraulic gradients and permeability of the subsurface materials.
Why are rocks in the centre of the Earth like thick syrup?
Rocks in the center of the Earth are under immense pressure and heat, causing them to behave like a thick syrup. This is due to the high temperatures and pressures at the Earth's core, which can cause solid materials like rocks to flow slowly over geological timescales.
How do cloud rings form in the Earth's atmosphere?
Cloud rings in the Earth's atmosphere form when air currents and turbulence cause circular patterns in the clouds. These rings can be created by the interaction of different air masses or by the flow of air around obstacles like mountains or buildings.
What is the diff between positive and earth?
In electrical systems, positive (+) refers to the terminal with a higher voltage potential, usually designated for the flow of current into a component. Earth (or ground) serves as a reference point with a voltage of zero and provides a return path for current to complete the circuit safely.
Explain why the asthenosphere is capable of flowing?
The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.
What might cause solid rock in the Earth's interior to melt and begin to flow?
The mantle cause the mantle to flow.
How does uneven heating of earth's cause winds to flow?
the uneven heating of earth's surface causes pressure differences which set air in motion
What is the cause of surface currents?
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
A trough in an upper air flow may cause what?
Sinking air that will increase the air pressure at the Earth's surface.
How does the moons orbit effect the earth?
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
What do scientists that convection currents flow through?
Scientists believe that convection currents flow through the Earth's mantle, which is the layer of hot, flowing rock beneath the Earth's crust. These currents are driven by heat from the Earth's core and cause the movement of tectonic plates at the surface.
Does earth's gravity cause mass movement?
Yes, waterfalls, river flow, and landslides would all be examples of gravity at work.
What is applied to a conductor to cause current flow?
voltage is applied to a conductor to cause a current flow
What is the word meaning to cause to flow?
The word you are looking for is "discharge." It means to release or cause to flow.
What does the resistance of the flow of electrons cause?
it cause no electricity because of the resistance but.... if your question was..... "the caused by the flow of electrons" then the answer well be ( it cause electricity )
What damage does a large meteorite cause to the earth?
it either leaves a crater or if deep enough can make lava flow out of the hole. but if the meteorite hits the core then KABOOM!
Could the earth's magnetic poles be the cause of continental drift?
No, the Earth's magnetic poles are not responsible for continental drift. Continental drift is primarily driven by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's lithosphere. The Earth's magnetic field does play a role in plate tectonics through magnetic stripes on the ocean floor, but it is not the primary cause of continental drift.
