Where do Earth's tectonic plates move?
They are constantly moving and shifting around each other. The effect of too much shifting over a period of time is an earthquake. The plates never stopo moving so it means it is moving every year
Does the total amount of earths water change slowly or never?
both
Earths rotation and the Coriolis effect winds almost never blow what way?
in a straight line east
Is an earthquake going to happen today?
The majority of the Earth is molten (liquid). The Earth never truly stops moving.
Why there is a fault line in the Earth's crust?
I wouldn't call it one fault line. the earth's crust consists of several pieces, compare them to jigsaw puzzle pieces, and they don't lie still. there's incredible forces under the earth's crust, which cause them to move about. the earth's crust never has consisted of one whole piece. millions of years ago, when earth as we know it was still being formed, the surface wasn't solid yet, but it was all lava. then the surface started cooling down gradually and it solidified, but before it could become one whole plate, the pieces which had solidified already started moving about, as they were floating on a stream of molten rock.
How did volcanos get invented?
Well, they were never really invented, they have been around for millions of years. They are caused by movement of the tectonic plates on the earths surface. Lava comes up slowly over a very long period of time to fill the gap and create a volcano, but how this happens depends on whether the 2 plates are moving together or apart
What way will you roll if you jump out of a moving car?
most likely if you are moving fast you will role the opposite direction that the car is moving. but the best bet is to never jump out of a moving car.
How many earths is it in the universe?
The actual number of planets similar to the earth will likely never be known. The universe is simply too vast. However, it is likely that there are millions of similar planets.
Why is there a frequency of earthquakes and volcanoes?
The reason why is because the tectonic plates never stop moving. When one plate collides with another it causes volcanoes and earthquakes to occur.

Can growth plates be reopened?
No. Once the growth plates are closed they can never be re-opened.
When was Always Moving Never Stopping created?
Always Moving Never Stopping was created in 2006.
You buy me to eat but never eat me... Who am I?
Plates and cutlery.
When is the earths gravational pull zero?
It is never zero. It may get weaker with distance but it is never zero.
Why is dipole moment never permanent?
Electrons are constantly moving around the molecule. The dipole moment is just an average or where the electron cloud most likely to be if you were to freeze the molecule.
Is an area that has already experienced past earthquakes more or less likely to experienced future earthquake than a area that has never had a earthquake?
yes as they are usually on the edge of tectonic plates which is the reason that the earthquake happened
Does the total amount of earths water change slowly or never?
both
