The nearest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri and if we traveled at the speed of light we would get there after<u> 4.25 years. </u>

<h3>How long would it take to reach Proxima Centauri?</h3>

Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to our solar system and it is located around 40,208,000,000,000 km away.

If we were to travel to it at the speed of light, we would get there in:

= Distance to Proxima Centauri / Light travelling distance per year

= 40,208,000,000,000 / 9,460,730,474,334 km/ year

= 4.25 years

9. Which forces do scientists believe are responsible for the movement of Earth's

SIZIF [17.4K]

The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.

Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.
