Continents

They are both part of the larger structure called the continental margin where a continental plate meets an oceanic plate. The lower (deeper) end of the continental slope is called the continental rise.

Yes, this is possible, and this is what is happening; it is known as continental drift. North America is currently moving away from Europe (and Africa) at a rate of a couple of millimeters per year. Continents do not move dramatically over a short period of time. There has to be perhaps a hundred million years before a noticeable difference.

Ocean currents in the Pacific carry warmer waters from the South and another current carrying cold water also comes in from the North, both keeping the West coast in balance, while the temperatures on the East coast vary greater because of this lack of oceanic temperature control.

The Solomon Islands are located in the continent of Oceania.

The early supercontinent that existed when Earth's landmasses were joined together was called Pangaea.

When two continents begin to drift toward one another, its because the tectonic plate which the ocean between them lies on is being subducted beneath another tectonic plate; basically the oceanic crust (land) beneath the ocean is being pulled down underneath another piece of crust. Once all the oceanic crust has been swallowed up, there is no more ocean left between the continents and so they 'meet'. The continents don't get pulled down beneath one another though; oceanic crust is different to continental crust in that it is denser and less buoyant, so it can be pulled down. Continental crust is less dense and is too buoyant to be subducted. The surface of the Earth is covered by tectonic plates which fit together like a complete jigsaw puzzle; the continents and the land beneath the oceans are just the crust which sit on top of the tectonic plates. While some oceans are 'shrinking' because of subduction, elsewhere in the world, oceans are growing because oceanic crust is being created by lava erupting through openings in the sea floor, which then cools, and sets to form solid crust.

No, Mercury is not bigger than Asia. Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system, with a diameter of about 4,880 kilometers. Asia is the largest continent on Earth, covering about 44.58 million square kilometers.

Scientists believe that Earth's continents were once connected in a single landmass called Pangaea, which began breaking apart about 200 million years ago. Over time, the movement of tectonic plates has caused the continents to drift to their current positions. This process, known as continental drift, is ongoing and continues to reshape the Earth's surface.

The Sun is directly overhead in the continental US on two specific days each year, typically around late June and late December. These correspond to the summer and winter solstices respectively.

The term for a large landmass that is smaller than a continent and separated by physical barriers is "subcontinent." Subcontinents are distinct regions that have their own unique geological and geographical characteristics.

Asia is the largest continent in the world. It is located in the Eastern and Northern Hemispheres and covers an area of about 44.58 million square kilometers.

A baby vicuña is called a cria.

South America spans across the tropics and the south temperate zones. The continent crosses the equator and extends southwards to include regions with temperate climates.

Antarctica would never have the sun directly overhead at any time during the year due to its location near the South Pole. The tilt of Earth's axis ensures that the sun never reaches directly overhead in this region.

"30 degrees east longitude" is the description of a line that joins the north and south poles

and crosses territory in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Antarctica.

"150 degrees west longitude" is the description of a line that joins the north and south poles

and crosses territory in North America and Antarctica.

Antarctica has yielded the largest trove of meteorites due to the ice sheets that preserve and concentrate them. Antarctica's cold, dry conditions help preserve meteorites on the surface where they can be easily collected.

If I remember correctly, it is Antarctica, because in the process of making a model of the earth flat so that it can become a map, the globe is distorted, meaning that some seas and continents look bigger than they really are, like Greenland.

The equator passes through three continents in South America: South America, Africa, and Asia.

Rome is in Europe.

Two plates that have no continents on them are the nazca plate and coco's plate, i think there may be more but.

North America began to form around 1.5 billion years ago from the collision and amalgamation of multiple smaller landmasses. By 0.7 billion years ago, North America was a distinct continent, though its shape and size were different from what we see today.

Saturn is the 6th largest planet in our solar system. It is known for its distinctive rings made up of ice, rocks, and dust particles.

The equator runs through 3 continents - Africa, South America, and Asia.
