place where rock mass have broken apart and moved from each other
When two air masses are not moving in relation to each other, it is referred to as a stationary front. This occurs when the forces that determine the movement of the air masses are in balance, resulting in little to no horizontal displacement. In a stationary front, the boundary between the air masses remains relatively stable, leading to prolonged periods of cloudy and potentially rainy weather.
When air masses meet and stop moving, it creates a stationary front. In this situation, neither air mass is strong enough to displace the other, leading to prolonged periods of weather conditions associated with both air masses. Stationary fronts can result in extended periods of cloudiness and precipitation.
Yes. Edit: Groups of galaxies usually move apart from each other. On a smaller scale than that there is no general movement apart. For example the galaxies in our "Local Group" are not moving apart.
Ocean trenches occur where plates are moving towards each other and one plate is being pushed beneath the other in a process called subduction. Trenches are formed at convergent plate boundaries where oceanic crust is being forced downward into the mantle.
The Pacific and Antarctic plates are moving away from each other due to seafloor spreading along mid-ocean ridges where new crust is formed. This process creates a divergent boundary where the plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and solidify, pushing them further apart.
Frontal zones where the air masses are not movingagainst each other are called stationary frontsStationary Front
Trenches form where plates are moving towards each other in a convergent plate boundary, not where they are moving apart. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, plates are moving apart, creating new crust.

Stationary fronts can result in extended periods of cloudiness and precipitation.
Plate Tectonics has some continents moving apart (e.g. North America and Europe) and others moving together or colliding (e.g. India and Asia). The movement is complex as it is driven by convection cells in the mantle.
Big land masses can move apart through the process of plate tectonics. This occurs when tectonic plates underneath the Earth's surface shift and separate, creating new boundaries such as divergent boundaries. As these plates move apart, they can cause continents to drift away from each other over millions of years.
The transportation of broken rock particles to other places is called erosion. These particles are usually carried by moving agents such as wind, water and ice.
The location of islands, and other land masses on our planet is essentially chaotic in nature. Many random and unpredictable processes are involved.
