How did the discovery about seafloor spreading modify the theory of Continental drift?
Seafloor spreading explained WHY and how Continental Drift occurs. How can lands be 'moving' without a catastrophic or even noticeable change--- seafloor spreading accounts for these small changes. It identifies where the actual changes take place (even if we cannot identify the exact spots where spreading occurs). We can better estimate how much the "spreading" equates to observable/measurable changes of continents, specifically how fast (slowly) continents are moving closer or further apart. Seafloor spreading explains other phenomena, too, like the expulsion of methane gas pockets at the ocean floor which are suspected to interfere with flotation of ships and possibly the downing of airplanes that pass over where methane is released when methane gas disrupts the air above the water. Seafloor spreading also gives clues as to how mountains and valleys form underwater and on land.
What is the fastest wind found in a Hurricane?
the wind speed was very fast to fast for scientists
What design challenges do scientists face in trying to land a spacecraft on a comet?
the speed of a comet and the rotation is far too fast for a spacecraft to land
What cause sea floor spearding and continetal drift?
When hot magma pushes up from the Atlantic ridge, (A large,under water volcanic mountain range in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean) it has to go somewhere, so it pushes out and slowly forces the continents to move over the magma below it. Tey only move about as fast as fingernails grow, though.
What do scientists use to calculate how fast the plates move?
Scientists use GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to calculate how fast tectonic plates move. By tracking the movement of GPS stations placed on different plates over time, researchers can measure the rate of plate movement with high accuracy.
How fast does continental drift happen?
Continental drift occurs at a rate of about 2-5 centimeters per year, which is approximately the same speed at which fingernails grow. This movement is due to the slow spreading of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Over millions of years, this movement can lead to significant changes in the positions of continents.
Is tectonic plates a slow or fast change?
Tectonic plates move very slowly, but earthquakes are quite sudden. So, there are elements of slow change and fast change. Continental drift is slow.
