No, the shadow zone is not always in the same location on Earth. It varies depending on the position of the earthquake epicenter and the depth of the seismic waves generated. The shadow zone is formed due to the refraction of seismic waves as they pass through different layers of the Earth's interior, particularly the liquid outer core, creating areas where certain seismic waves cannot be detected. Consequently, its location changes with each seismic event.
That was because of the angle of the sun shining on the Earth and casting a shadow on the moon from your perspective. From Australia, the shadow started at the bottom and moved upwards, even though we were all looking at the same moon at almost the same time.
Interesting! It depends on how you think about it. If you stand on one spot on the earth then the period of totality for a solar eclipse will be a maximum of about 7 mins. while from the same spot the period of totality for a lunar eclipse will last about 50 mins. However, during a solar eclipse the shadow of the moon races across the face of the earth from west to east, and while any one spot is only in totality for a few minutes, the shadow is present on the planet for (3 -3.5 hours), much longer than a lunar eclipse lasts.
The moon is always Full at the time of a lunar eclipse.Sun, earth, and moon are in a straight line and in the same plane. The earth is in the middle.The moon is on one side of the earth ... in its shadow ... and the sun is on the other side,about 390 times as far away as the moon.
Because the shadow of the Moon is only so big, and the Earth spins at almost a thousand miles per hour at the equator. And the 7-minute number is only for a solar eclipse that happens at perigee, when the Moon is as close as it ever comes to the Earth. When the Moon is farther from the Earth, the Moon's shadow on the Earth is smaller, and the eclipse lasts a shorter time.
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
NO.
it revolves around Earth at the same rate that Earth is rotating so that it is always fixed over the same location
No, the location is constantly changing.
South Africa has always been in the same location
a weather satellite and it rotates around the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction that Earth revolves so it is always fixed over the same location.
no
It never does because the same face of the moon is always pointed at Earth. This is due to the fact that the moon revolves around Earth at the same speed it rotates on it's axis, so Earth remains in the same relative location in the sky on the moon.

Yes.
Lunar eclipse: Earth makes the shadow; the moon passes through it.Earth's shadow is large enough to darken the shole moon at the same time.Solar eclipse: Moon makes the shadow; earth passes through it.Moon's shadow is not large enough to darken the whole earth at the same time ...it causes only a small dark spot, that moves along the surface as the earth turns.
what location on earth receives roughly the same amount of solar radiation year round
The same side of the moon always faces the earth because of a phenomenon called tidal locking, where the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around the earth. This causes one side of the moon to always be facing towards the earth.
