Why is a polar wandering curve constructed?

Each tectonic plate moves along its own path, therefor each plate has its own wandering curve. It is constructed apparently to show the wandering curve of the different plates


What is the definition of logical illogical?

Saying the "logical illogical" is equivalent to saying "logical magick". "Magick" is that which the logical mind considers impossible. "Logical" and "illogical" are both "polar opposites", and just two of the many ways of being, one of which is "logical illogical": order WITH chaos, and chaos WITH order. There is great beauty in mathematics based on imaginary numbers (logical illogical).


What is a simile of how a polar bear swims?

"A polar bear can swim like a fish," or "A polar bear swims like a dog: it always uses the doggie paddle when in the water."


What is the collective noun for polar bears?

The collective noun for polar bears is a "celebration." So, next time you see a group of those fluffy white giants, you can say, "Look at that celebration of polar bears!" Just don't expect them to break out into a conga line or anything.


What is the Difference between opposite and polar opposite?

Opposite by definition; " Having a position on the other or further side of something." Polar opposite, is essentially the opposite of something that is of the further* side. Ergo, all polar opposites are opposites, but not all opposites are polar. For example: Word: Famous (Known about by many people) A polar opposite: Infamous (Well known for some bad quality or deed) Ordinary opposite Unknown (Not known or familiar) In summary, a polar opposite, is an opposite of the word within the same 'field' if you will.

What is polar displacement?

Polar displacement. I think what your referring to if we are talking in a geological sense is actually called polar wandering and it is the apparent movement of the north and south poles over geological time however the poles are actually not the objects moving it is the continental landmasses under plate tectonics moving the land under the poles. The poles do move slightly before they reverse however plate tectonics is the main cause of polar wandering.

What is polar wandering?

Polar wandering refers to the movement of the Earth's magnetic poles over long periods of time. This movement is caused by changes in the Earth's magnetic field due to processes happening in the Earth's core. By studying polar wandering, scientists can understand the history and evolution of the Earth's magnetic field.


What paleo climatic evidence for polar wandering?

Layers of glacial deposits are found at same place in sequence of rocksNote directions of glacial ice movement as indicated by striations or grooves in the rock

How polar wandering contributes to the acceptance of the plate tectonic theory?

The north pole isn't subject to wandering - it's just ocean and ice - but there is a land mass at the south pole, and it wasn't always in that location. It is among the moving land masses which demonstrate that crustal plates do float on the magma of the mantle and slowly move. Investigations of Antarctica show evidence that it was at one time quite warm.


What is the inuit word for seal?

The Inuit name for the Polar Bear is "Nanuk", meaning "an animal worthy of great respect." While in their poetry, the Inuit word they use for Polar Bear is, "Pihoqahiak", meaning "the ever-wandering one". Additional Spelling; Nannuraluk, and Nanuq.


What are apparent polar wander paths?

Apparent polar wander paths are the tracks on the Earth's surface that represent the movement of a specific point on the Earth's crust relative to the geographic poles over time. These paths are determined by analyzing the magnetic orientations of ancient rocks and are used to study the history of plate tectonics and continental drift.


How do apparent polar-wander paths show that the continents rather than the poles have moved?

Apparent polar-wander paths show that the continents have moved because the paths traced by the magnetic poles from different time periods do not align with the current geographic North Pole. This discrepancy implies that the continents must have shifted positions relative to the poles over time.
