What else can I help you with?
Is the earths tilt caused by erosion?
No. Erosion could not have such a dramatic effect on Earth's rotation. The tilt on Earth's axis is likely a result of a collision with another planet early in Earth's history. This same collision formed the moon.
How is the formation of Earth's Moon and Earth's tilt on its axis related?
We can't be entirely certain, but the Earth's axial tilt may be related to the massive collision with another (now extinct) planet; a collision in which the Moon coalesced from the debris. The same collision would certainly have affected the rate of spin of the pre-Earth.
What else resulted from the collision of those plates?
The collision of plates can also result in the formation of mountain ranges, volcanic activity, earthquakes, and the creation of new landmasses. These geological processes can have significant impacts on the Earth's surface and can influence the distribution of habitats and ecosystems.
What type of plate boundary occurs by the Himalayas?
Collision boundary. The Himalayas, is the result of the on going collision between India and Asia. source of this answer being a test i just took in my Earth Science class, that said i got this correct ;)
When does rock Folding occurs?
Rock folding occurs when tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to bend and deform, usually in response to compression or collision of tectonic plates. This deformation can result in curved or wrinkled layers of rock, known as folds, forming within the Earth's crust.
Is the earths tilt caused by erosion?
No. Erosion could not have such a dramatic effect on Earth's rotation. The tilt on Earth's axis is likely a result of a collision with another planet early in Earth's history. This same collision formed the moon.
Is the Andromeda galaxy ever going to collide with earth?
Not with earth specifically, but it will eventually collide with the Milky Way Galaxy. Galaxies are mostly empty space, so when this collision occurs the chances of earth suffering a collision as a result are negligible.
What was the mass of earth before its collision with earth?
It never collided with itself and if you mean the meteor that killed the dinos we don't know if that actually happened.
What will happened if the asteroid hit the earth?
Depends on its size at time of collision,the heat and vibration can destroy city country or whole world.
Why we here now in planet earth?
We are the result of the processes that have happened and are happening on our planet.
The formation of the Alps is the direct result of collision between what two continents?
The formation of the Alps is the result of the collision between the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate. The convergence of these two plates caused intense folding and faulting of the Earth's crust, leading to the uplift of the Alpine mountain range.
The Himalayan Mountains were formed as a result of what?
The Himalayan Mountains were formed as a result of the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This collision forced the Earth's crust to crumple and uplift, creating the massive mountain range that continues to grow taller each year.
What is a common result of the collision of two continental plates?
One common result of the collision of two continental plates is the formation of mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas where the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate. The intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust during the collision lead to the uplift of the land and the creation of tall mountain peaks.
What event most likely caused the formation of folded mountain ranges on Earth?
The collision of tectonic plates, specifically the process of continental collision, is most likely to have caused the formation of folded mountain ranges on Earth. This collision leads to intense pressure and compressional forces that result in the folding and uplift of rock layers, creating mountain ranges like the Himalayas.
How do you avoid a collision with an asteroid headed for Earth?
There is no way to avoid an impending collision.
What happened as a result of this endeavor?
the result came to the earth and scared people away form there homes so be carful he might get you in your sleep
What happens during a continental-continental collision?
During a continental-continental collision, two landmasses converge and eventually collide, leading to the formation of very large mountain ranges. The collision can cause intense deformation of Earth's crust, resulting in the uplift and folding of rocks. Earthquakes and volcanic activity may also be triggered as a result of the collision.
