How does the asthenosphere move tectonic plates? Lithosphere and asthenosphere: The lithosphere (which consists of the Earth's crust and upper mantle) is situated on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere comprises tectonic plates. The asthenosphere is flowing and very viscous. ...
How do we know that tectonic plates move? How many large lithospheric plates exist? Which plate is the North American Plate moving away from? How dense is the Eurasian Plate? How wide is the Pacific Plate? How can gravity's role in tectonic plate motion be described?
Is normal force the y-component of the force of gravity? Why does the normal force decrease as the angle increases? A person applies 100N of force on a shelf and it doesn't move, why is the shelf not moving? What could be done for it to move?
Scientists think Mars originally formed in the ancient past from an accumulation of spacefaring gas and dust, brought together by gravity. Modern Earth has a magnetic field called a "magnetosphere" that protects us from the worst effects of solar wind. Mars once had a strong magnetosphere of its...
The plates are not static; instead, they move. Sometimes it’s the tiniest fraction of inches over a period of years. Other times, there’s more movement, and it’s more sudden. This sort of movement is what triggers earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. ...
If that is a fact, the Himalayas should be higher! According to the scientists, the Eurasian plate could now be extending out rather than thrusting up, and such stretching would result in some subsidence due to gravity. Scientists in India are again ready for an expedition to measure the hei...
The red planet's magnetosphere is significantly weaker than the Earth's, allowing charged particles to penetrate its atmosphere and knock atoms into space like billiard balls. Consequently, while Mars has about ⅓ the gravity of the Earth, its atmospheric volume is less than 1% that of Earth'...
167.Huff Model– Calculating sales potential based on the Huff Model – an interaction model measuring the probabilities of consumers at each origin location patronizing a new store instead of other stores. (Huff Gravity Model) 168.Consumer Profiling– Optimizing consumer profiling with location-based...
When you ascend, you naturally shift your center of gravity forward. Unfortunately for me, that shift put even more pressure on the injured disc, and my pain intensified. That 4-hour ascent was the most painful experience of my life to-date. I couldn’t catch hold of any positive ...
How fast does magma flow? Flowing: Flowing is the movement of a liquid downhill under gravity. The movement of water from rivers towards the ocean uses this mechanism of movement. Answer and Explanation:1 Magma flows at up to 60 kilometers an hour on a steep slope with a smooth channel....
