What else can I help you with?
Is it possible for Continents to have a sudden movement by many miles away from another continent such as North America moving away from Europe and Africa?
Yes, this is possible, and this is what is happening; it is known as continental drift. North America is currently moving away from Europe (and Africa) at a rate of a couple of millimeters per year. Continents do not move dramatically over a short period of time. There has to be perhaps a hundred million years before a noticeable difference.
Which location would the ocean ridge most likely be located?
The ocean ridge is most likely to be located along the boundary of tectonic plates, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This is where new oceanic crust is formed as plates move apart, causing magma to rise and solidify.
Almost all weather fronts in north america are pushed from west to east by the?
prevailing westerly winds, which are high-altitude winds that blow from west to east across North America. These winds help move weather systems and fronts from one region to another.
Does island exist at the North Pole?
Chunks of ice occasionally move, and the North Pole has now been proven to move 40 miles towards Russia every year. This has caused airports to re-calibrate runways to correspond with airplane compasses and directional apparatus.
Can geologic plates move and tilt?
Yes! For example Europe and North America are moving away from each other at a rate of around 25mm per year due to the presence of a divergent plate boundary known as the mid Atlantic ridge. Plates often tilt where they meet or collide with one another, for example the collision between the Eurasian and Indian plates caused buckling and deformation of the crust leading to the formation of the Himalayan mountain chain. Oceanic plates also tilt downward into the Earth's mantle when they collide with the less dense material of a continental plate. This process is known as subduction and is occurring in places such as the western coast of South America.
How many inches does North America move away from Europe in a year?
well it does not move an inch, actually just 1 or 2 cm away each year
When it is summer in North America what is it in Europe?
It is summer in Europe too!To move into a different season, you have to cross the equator.When it is summer in North America, it is winter in South America, southern Africa, and Australia, for example.
Are Europe and north America drifting closer together or farther apart?
Europe and North America are drifting farther apart at a rate of a few centimeters per year due to the movement of tectonic plates. This movement results from the spreading of the Atlantic Ocean, causing the two continents to move away from each other over time.
When is PlayStation move comeing out?
some time round the end of this year PlayStation Move is set to be released on the 15th of September 2010 for Europe, 17th September for North America, 21th of October for Japan and 16th of September for Australia.
Why are Europe and North America further apart today than they were 65 million years ago?
Europe and North America are further apart today due to the process of seafloor spreading. This occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed as tectonic plates move away from each other. Over millions of years, this continual spreading has pushed Europe and North America farther apart.
