Drifting

Drifting is forcing the car sideways -- via steering, throttle, clutching and braking -- in a controlled manner. The car will drift or slide sideways through the turns. An event that has become popular worldwide.

How does seafloor spreading explain continental drift?

Seafloor spreading is caused by two plates moving apart. This is caused by plate tectonics. Continental drift is also caused by plate tectonics. Therefore, we can conclude that continental drift is related to seafloor spreading. When the plates move, it carries the continents with it, and thus the continents drift away from each other.

How can the magnetic orientation of rocks be used to trace a continent that has drifted?

When rocks are formed, usually from lava flows, the magnetic orientation of them is set as they solidify. As these rocks are affected by continental drift and other factors such as earthquakes, the original magnetic orientation remains.

Using the known strengths of the earth's magnetic field over time, it is possible to then tell where these rocks originally emerged.

Does drifting damage your car?

if you crash, it can also damage your car Yes it can if not done properly, especially the drive train, try this site for more information:

Shift Lock Drift

This is performed by letting the revs drop on downshift into a corner and then releasing the clutch to put stress on the driveline to slow the rear tires inducing over steer. This is like pulling the E-brake through a turn, but this should be performed on wet ground to minimize damage to the driveline. Similar drifting technique to Clutch Kicking.

Why is a longshore drift a problem at Dawlish Warren?

Longshore drift moves sediment along the beach which lengthens the sand spit. Groynes have been put in place to try and reduce the effects of longshore drift.

Why do racing driver use toe and heel breaking?

EDIT: Racers don't drift, because for just about any turn drifting is slower than taking a corner correctly. The real reason a road course racer uses heel toe downshifting is to keep the car balanced before a turn in and also save time by braking for a turn and shifting at the same time. The racer begins braking for a turn with the front part of their right foot, the toe. Then before the turn in the racer pushes in the clutch with their left foot, and while keeping the front part of their foot on the brake kicks the gas pedal to blip the throttle then shifts into gear and releases the clutch. Here is a site that explains many Drifting techniques:

* http://www.driftsession.com/technique.htm Heel toe braking is one way to start a drift. When a skilled driver does this, with their heel on the brake and toe an the gas, the sudden deceleration of the rear tires causes them to lose traction, and when the gas is pressed at that moment, the drift is started. It's just one of several ways to begin a drift.

Why is it important not to let your project drift and what does drifting mean in the project management context?

Drift, in project management terms, is scope creep. Scope Creep is mainly when some uncontrolled/unforeseeable changes affect the project schedule.

What circumstances that genetic drift occur?

Genetic drift is the fluctuation of allele frequencies in a population due to chance. Chance plays a role in several ways. Copies of alleles can be lost because they never make it into gametes. Another possibility is, if the allele copy makes into a sperm, that sperm isn't the one that fertilizes an egg. Maybe the organism that carries copies of the allele in its gametes fails to find a mate, or is killed before reproducing. These kinds of events can influence the frequency of that alelle in a population, and occurs regardless of any selection for or against that allele. Obviously, the smaller the population, the larger the effect drift has on the allele frequency. For example, consider a population of four organisms. Each has two copies of a particular gene (one on each chromosome). Now, consider a mutation that creates a new allele for that gene, and that it appears on one chromosome of one individual. That allele will have a frequency of 1/8 in that population, so if it is lost, the frequency change will be 1/8. Now imagine a population of eight individuals; the frequency of the new allele would be 1/16, so if it was lost, the change in frequency would be less than in a population of four. It should therefore be easy to see that the effect of genetic drift on allelic frequency change is dramatically less in very large populations. In fact, in an essentially infinite population, genetic drift would have a negligible effect on the frequency of an allele. Another factor that can influence allele frequency, and which is a part of genetic drift is non-random mating. If an organism does not have an equal probability of mating with any other organism in a population, then some alleles will increase or decrease in frequency simply due to that. For instance, if a population exists over a large geographic range, individuals that live closer to each other have a greater probability of mating than those who live far apart. Species who employ reproductive strategies such as leks,where males gather together and compete for the privilege of mating with females are also examples of non-random mating. Lekking increases the effects of drift because it reduces what biologists call the effective population size, or the number of breeding adults. For the above reasons, when population geneticists want to study factors that affect the frequency of an allele (such as natural selection), and they want to minimize the effects of drift, they model populations that are very large (essentially infinite) and assume random mating.

What is the best way to use a drift anchor?

Drift Pontiac G6 GXP how do you drift do I use e-brake traction control on or off?

off is probably the best way to drift, tc is to help the car keep traction, this is not what you want in drift

Drifting race car prices?

Here are a few, check Edmond's for price:

* Mercedes is not a very popular brand for drifting since it's more of a luxury brand, but you can drift any Mercedes, except for the A-class of course. 190Es are great for drifting! *

* Porsche makes high performance sports cars and so all RWD Porsches will be a joy to drift. Be aware that you need to go after one with RWD, and not one with a 4WD system. *

* Suzuki has the Cappuchino which is actually quite a good and very balanced car for drifting. It is sometimes even spotted on drifting events, but isn't the most popular choice. *

* Volvo's older car line-up used to be RWD and offered some great cars that are happy to go sideways. The 340 till 360, the 240 till 266 and the 740-780 are the ones you want for drifting. *

* Opel/Vauxhall has quite a lot of RWD cars but again, most of them are older cars like the Omega, Manta, Kadett, Ascona, etc. If you want something newer get the new GT or Speedster. *

* Dodge offers the Charger and the Viper. Both have been used in Formula D. You don't see these cars around amateur events, but you stop wondering why if you find out their pricetag. *

* Pontiac has the GTO, also known as the Holden Monaro it has been quite an influence to the American drifting scene. Rhys Millen drove a Pontiac GTO in the Formula D competition. http://www.driftingstreet.com/drift-cars.html

What is does JDM mean?

Biggest Recognizable feature of a JDM car to people in the US, is that it is Right Hand Drive JDM Converted cars are usually USDM Cars that customers change or modify their cars to resemble their Japanese counterparts, sometimes this includes a Right Hand Drive Conversion, and Engine, both which can be gained by buying a JDM "Half Cut" USDM: United States Domestic Market (Cars sold in the US)

Why would your car drift to the left?

There are a number of things which could cause this problem but to narrow it down, it is most likely you either have a flat tire, different tires on either side of the vehicle, or your alignment is out and needs to be readjusted.

What is a strategic drift?

A strategic drift, is where strategies progressively fail to address the strategic position of the organization and this is frequently followed by transformational change and demise.

What evidence did wegener use to support his theory of continental drift?

Wegener used several lines of evidence to support his theory of continental drift, including the fit of the continents like a jigsaw puzzle, similarities in rock formations and fossils across continents, matching mountain ranges on different coastlines, and evidence of past glaciation patterns. These observations suggested that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and had drifted apart over time.

What is the best Drifting car in the World?

I will give you a few sites you can view to help you to decide.

Any RWD car can drift. It is up to the drivers skills whether it can get it to drift. Some cars will drift easier than others but you as the driver are the decisive factor. However the easiest way to go by is to simply buy a popular drifting car; it's not for nothing that it's popular for drifting!

What is the most common used car for Drifting?

Any RWD car with a limited slip diff will do really.Popular models are (in no particular order)... * Nissan 240sx - the single most commonly used car for drifting. In Europe it's called 200sx, in Japan 180sx * Mazda Miata * Mazda RX-7 * Toyota Corolla AE86 and AE85 Models Only * Toyota Supra * Nissan 350z * Nissan Skyline all models (GT-R w/ HICAS lockout) * Nissan Silvia * BMW 3rd Series (E30 and up models) * Ford Mustang GT * Pontiac GTO * Dodge Viper The list is longer, but that should give you a general idea. Remember a car needs extensive modifications to the Drive Line, suspension, and Safety Equipment to become a competitive car in the Drifting Community

What is better for drifting an open differential or a viscious differential?

Do you mean a viscous clutch LSD? Having an LSD (Limited Slip Differential) makes drifting much easier to start and maintain than the stock open differential. From what I've seen when you have an open diff and both wheels are spinning, if one gains traction, then the wheel with the least traction will steal most of the torque. on a LSD if one wheel gains traction then the LSD will give more power to that wheel hopefully allowing it to keep free spinning. On most AE86s drivers will put in TRD 1.5 LSDs and ultimately LSDs will allow a more continual drift vs open or locked diffs. ;)
