A. Small pieces of the Earth's crust. B. Large pieces of the Earth's crust that move slowly. C. Pieces of the moon. D. Pieces of the sun. 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 B。解析:文章中提到“Tectonic plates are large pieces of the Earth's crust that move slowly over time.”,即构造...
A new study says we may only have another 1.45 billion years to enjoy the dynamic action of Earth’s geologic engine.

Focusing on the hydrosphere, it encompasses all of Earth’s water, which is crucial for life. This sphere includes surface water, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans; groundwater that saturates the soil and rock beneath our feet; ice and snow found in polar regions and mountain peaks; and w...
Earthquakes occur when the plates that make up the Earth's crust move around. These plates, called tectonic plates, can push against each other. Earthquakes are most common along fault lines, which are fractures that allow the plates to move. ...
In geology, a rift is a literal separation between earth's tectonic plates, leading to the formation of rift valleys. Drift, on the other hand, encompasses movements like the gradual shifting of geographical features or the slow change in opinions, trends, or relationships over time, indicating...
Satellite and earth-imaging:Object recognition helps detect objects in aerial imagery and atmospheric pressure. It can also let us predict the position of tectonic plates rattling inside our core due to constant metamorphosis. The assistance fromradio frequency distribution (RFID)allows pilots and air ...
In physical geography, gaps are often seen as passages or breaks in a barrier, such as a mountain range or wall. Whereas rifts in geography usually refer to large fissures in the Earth's crust, like the Great Rift Valley in Africa, which have more dramatic geological implications. 15 In ...
For a perimeter player, this is hardly an earth-shattering discovery, but it is incredibly important when discussing Green’s future. The peaks and valleys in Green’s scoring are largely driven by the fluctuations in his 3-point volume and efficiency. They’re the tectonic plates of his ...
Collectively, the balance profits (0.4 km2) and losses (12.7 km2) are negative over the next 50 years. Overall, it is easy to believe that the size of the Earth’s dry land is increasing due to plate movement (e.g., land elevation and new volcanoes emerging). It is easier to fathom...
