Plate tectonics is the theory that the Earth’s crust is made up of plates that glide over a layer of mantle. A prediction of thi
s theory is that the plates will move relative to each other as they move over the mantle. To test this hypothesis, a scientist places a marker on two adjacent plates to measure their movement over a decade. What would be the expected result of the experiment? How would you interpret the results if the scientist sees no movement?
The expected result would be that the plates will move if only a few inches or up to several miles but still, movement is expected either way
if the plates did not move that would be a good thing because no plate movement and there would be no chance of random mountains, valleys, or earthquakes as the plates move every which way
The energy of a body is its capacity to do work. The SI unit of energy is joule (J) and the CGS unit of energy is erg, where 1 J = 10raise to 7 erg. The bigger units of energy are watt hour (Wh) and kilowatt hour (kWh).
