Which force causes acceleration?
The force that causes acceleration is known as net force.
Which two forces are balanced when a system is in isostasy?
The gravitational force pulling the crust down and the buoyant force pushing the crust up are balanced in isostasy. This equilibrium allows the Earth's crust to float at a certain level within the asthenosphere.
What force causes all matter to be attracted together?
Gravity is the force that causes all matter to be attracted together. It is a fundamental force that causes objects with mass to exert an attractive force on each other.
What force causes something to accelerate or decelerate?
Acceleration or deceleration is caused by a net force acting on an object. When the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, it causes acceleration. When the net force is in the opposite direction, it causes deceleration.
What is the name of the force that causes blocks to fall?
Gravity is the force that causes blocks and objects to fall towards the Earth.
How does earths crust respond to addition and subtraction of mass?
When mass is added to Earth's crust, it causes the crust to subside and sink due to the increased weight. Conversely, when mass is removed from the crust, it can rebound and rise due to the decreased load. This process is known as isostatic adjustment and can result in changes in the Earth's topography.
Force that cause continents to drift?
plate tectonics The friction between the convective masses in the mantle and the crust overlaying it causes the crust to move.
What in the mantle is the force that causes the plates to move slowly over the crust?
sea floor spreadong
What causes the pressure to increase as you go deeper below the earths crust?
Because the density of the force increases.
What causes the pressure to increase as you go deeper below the earth's crust?
Because the density of the force increases.
What is the force that changes earth's crust?
The force of changing earth's crust is...... that the earth's crust is a lot thinner
Why does ocean crust far from a mid-ocean ridge subside?
Ocean crust far from a mid-ocean ridge is older and colder compared to the younger crust closer to the ridge. As the crust cools, it becomes denser and contracts, causing it to subside and sink deeper into the mantle due to isostasy - the balance of buoyancy forces. Additionally, sediments accumulating on top of the crust can also contribute to its subsidence.
How does the moons gravitational force affect the crust of the earth?
The gravitational force of the moon causes tidal bulges in the Earth's crust, leading to the rise and fall of ocean tides. This gravitational interaction between the moon and the Earth also contributes to the phenomenon of Earth's rotation slowing down over time.
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
What is the force that move the Earth's plates?
The force that causes most of the plate movement is thermal convection, where heat from the earth's interior causes currents of hot rising magma and cooler sinking magma to flow, moving the of plate the crust along with them.
Why does ocean crust from a mid-ocean ridge subside?
It becomes more dense as it cools, until its density is greater than the asthenosphere below it.
What is meaning subside?
of Subside
