Greenland sits on the North American tectonic plate, and France sits on the Eurasian plate. These are two large fragments of the Earth's crust (or the lithosphere to be more correct). All plates are constantly moving, and there is a general drift caused by the circulation of heat in the mantle (or asthenosphere). The general trend currently is for the North American and Eurasian plates to move away from each other, the line along which this movement happens is marked by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. So, Greenland is moving away from France, but only by a few millimetres per year.

How do you make a smaller and clearer shadow when you can not move the object?
Move the light source farther away from the object.
WHAT HAPPENS As a celestial object moves farther away from the viewer it will appear .?
brighter btw add me on fb @kevin garcia
Why is it when you stand further away from a fire you get colder?
Because the heat from fire can not reach very far and so when you stand farther away it gets colder. And you get colder which is what im sayin
Where can you find facts?
On the internet But, stay away from sites about the Arctic and Antarctic, and they will only have cold facts. Sites about Greenland, Norway and Finland should have cool facts.
Because water has a high heat capacity areas around lakes tend to have a climate than areas farther away?
cooler
Is it true that the farther away from Earth a galaxy is the slower it is moving?
incorrect. The farther away from earth a galaxy is, the faster it is moving.
According to Hubble's law the farther away a galaxy is?
According to Hubble's Law, the farther away a galaxy is the, faster it is moving away
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
What is the pattern between how far away galaxies are and how quickly they are moving?
The farther a galaxy, the faster it moves away from us.
Is the farther away galaxy is from us the faster it is moving away from us?
The farther away another galaxy is from our solar system the less effect that the gravitational pull will have on that galaxy.Thus allowing the other galaxy to travel at a faster rate.
What galaxy did hubble discover?
-- Once you get past our "local group", every galaxy is moving away from us. -- The farther any galaxy is from us, the faster it's moving away from us.
According to Hubble's law what do the farthest galaxies in the universe appear to be doing?
Receding from each other faster the farther away they are. He saw they were "red shifted" and the red shift was greater the farther away the galaxy was. This mean that the Universe is expanding.
Why do distant galaxies appear to be moving away from each other the farther they are from your planet?
Because you touch yourself at night
What did the astronnmer Edwin Hubble discover about the relationship between the distance of a galaxy and the rate at which it is receding?
He discovered that the farther away a galaxy was, the faster it was moving away from Earth.
An asteroid that is moving farther away from the sun is gaining what type of energy?
While getting farther from the Sun in its orbit, an asteroid (or other object) will gain potential energy, and lose kinetic energy.
He originally suggested that galaxies are moving farther away He also suggested that the distance of a galaxy is proportional to its recessional speed who is He?
Edwin Hubble.
Which is farther away from the US Italy or Japan?
From LAX Italy is farther away
