If a piece of seafloor has moved 50 km in 5 million years what is the yearly rate of seafloor motion?
To find the yearly rate of seafloor motion, divide the total distance moved by the total time taken. In this case, 50 km over 5 million years gives a rate of 50 km / 5,000,000 years, which equals 0.00001 km per year, or 10 mm per year. Thus, the seafloor moves at a rate of approximately 10 millimeters annually.

What feature on the ocean floor would you most likely find the oldest seafloor?
in a subduction trench, because of Harry Hess' theory of sea floor spreading. Meaning that the rock is formed new at the mid-ocean ridge, and moved out towards the coasts into a subduction zone years and years later.
What state of motion did Aristotle attribute to the Earth?
Aristotle believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that it was at rest while the celestial bodies moved around it in perfect circular motion. This geocentric model was a central part of Aristotelian cosmology.
How has the position of of North America relative to the equator changed over the last 200 million years?
It has moved North of it
What theory did Harry Hess come up with that supported Wegeners belief that continents moved?
Harry Hess proposed the theory of seafloor spreading, which suggested that new oceanic crust was continuously forming at mid-ocean ridges and moving away in both directions. This supported Wegener's belief in continental drift by providing a mechanism for how continents could move across the Earth's surface.
If the north American plate moves at an average rate of 3 cm per year what distance has it moved over the last 50 million years?
3 cm/y X 50x106 years = 150,000,000 cm (1,500 km).
If a piece of a sea floor has moved 50 km in 5 million years what is the yearly rate of sea-floor motion?
The yearly rate would be 0.00001 km per year.
If a piece of sea floor has moved 50 km in 5 million years what is the yearly rate of sea-floor motion?
To calculate the yearly rate of sea-floor motion, we divide the total distance moved (50 km) by the total time taken (5 million years). 50 km / 5,000,000 years = 0.00001 km per year Therefore, the yearly rate of sea-floor motion is 0.00001 km/year.
What is the idea that continents have moved horizontally through the seafloor to their current locations?
seafloor spreading by Harry Hess

Does a amendment for a motion need to moved and seconded?
Yes
Idea that contineents have moved horizontally through the seafloor to their current locations?
the theory would be called Continental drift.
How did isaac newton invented the laws of motion?
He didn't. He observed how things moved, then defined and quantified how they moved.
How many were moved in the Indian Removal Act?
About 4,000 Indians were moved.
What could have the pens motion?
Usually a pen is moved by a hand.
What is a sentence using the word motion?
Put the car in motion or else I will have to take over. The motion of the rollercoaster made me dizzy.
What is the name of the man that moved the motion of Nigeria'?
Chief Anthony Enahoro
Why do objects moved in different ways?
because it is due to the force's motion.
