What is things rest upon crustal plates?
The continents and the ocean floor rest upon the plates.
How many tectonic plates are there under Delhi's surface?
There are three major tectonic plates that play a role in the geology of Delhi: the Indian Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and the Tibetan Plate. The collision and interactions between these plates contribute to the seismic activity in the region.
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
Where do most earthquakes occur in the world?
Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates. The earth's crust is made up of several pieces, called plates. The plates under the oceans are called oceanic plates and the rest which are under the land surface are continental plates. The plates are moved around by the motion of a deeper part of the earth (the mantle) that lies underneath the crust. These plates are always bumping into each other, pulling away from each other, or past each other. The plates usually move at about the same speed that your fingernails grow. Earthquakes usually occur where two plates are running into each other or sliding past each other.Earthquakes mostly occur in places where there is a Fault Line. Plates under the Earth's surface move and push against each other.Some of these places are:South AmericaNorth AmericaJapanAustraliaAfricaPhilippinesIndiaCaribbeanHaitiAlaska is the most earthquake-prone state and one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Alaska experiences a magnitude 7 earthquake almost every year, and a magnitude 8 or greater earthquake on average every 14 years. or just this near subduction zones.
What is the cause the lumbar strain?
You pulled your muscles that hold up your body in the lumbar region. Rest them and a hot tub bath or shower will help.
When a tablecloth is pulled from under a set of silverware and the silverware stay what force is happening?
This is an example of inertia, the tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion. The silverware stays in place due to its inertia, wanting to stay at rest even as the tablecloth is pulled out from under it.
What is the explanation behind the magician's tablecloth trick and how does it relate to inertia?
When a magician sharply yanks a tablecloth from under any number of precarious objects selected for dramatic effect, he takes advantage of the inertia of the objects on the tablecloth. According to Sir Isaac Newton's classical laws of motion, an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force; ie, even at rest, an object has inertia and will resist acceleration. As the tablecloth is pulled, the friction caused by the weight of items on it accelerates them. But this takes time; as long as the friction is low and the acceleration brief, the tablecloth can be pulled away before items on the table are moved very far. But, try this with a less slippery tablecloth (more friction) or by pulling slowly (longer acceleration) and disaster results. Basically, as long as there is more inertia (read mass) than friction, this can be done.

Why is it possible for the objects on a table to remain on the table when the table cloth was pulled away quicly?
Newton's first law of motion states that a body will maintain its current state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore, the magnitude of the force generated by the tablecloth on the dishes and the duration of the force determines whether the dishes fall off with the table cloth. The force that the tablecloth generates on the dishes when it starts to move is the frictional force. Therefore, the lower the coefficient of static friction of the tablecloth (e.g. plastic has a lower coefficient of friction than Velcro), the lower the magnitude of the force generated (i.e. pulling out a Teflon table cloth is much easier than pulling out a thick wool tablecloth). Also, the shorter the duration of the force (i.e. pulling the tablecloth off quickly), the lower the cumulative velocity resulting from the momentary acceleration (v = a*t, even if acceleration is large, a short time will reduce final velocity significantly). Therefore, lower coefficient of friction results in the reduction of force, the reduction of force leads to reduced acceleration (F = m*a), and reduced acceleration coupled with a short time period gives a lower final velocity.Hence it is possilble to pull a tablecloth off a table without disturbing the dishes on it.
How does earth have earthquakes?
Around the earth, there are plates that everything rest upon and these plates float on the magma under the earth's crust. When one of these plates shifts and rubs up on a plate next to it, pressure is made. When the pressure is relieved, the plate shakes along with anything on it.

Is land masses and oceans are permanently set in place?
According to the theory of plate tectonics, no. The theory of plate tectonics basically states that all the continents and oceans rest on massive pieces of the Earth's crust called "plates". These plates sort of float on the mantle beneath them. Thus, plates are able to move. Sometimes, one plate can get pulled underneath another one, in a process known as subduction. Because plates are constantly moving, the continents and oceans that rest above them move also. This is why the Pacific ocean is gradually getting smaller, the Atlantic gradually growing, etc.
The giant plates on which the continents rest?
The giant plates on which the continents rest are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle and move slowly over time, causing processes such as continental drift, earthquakes, and volcanic activity at their boundaries. The movement of these plates is driven by the heat generated from the Earth's core.
How far away from the grinder wheel should the tool rest be?
I would go just under a 1/4 inch. Any more and you risk the tool being pulled into the grinder.
Is it okay to work out if you tore or pulled a muscle in your upper back?
No, give it rest.
