Why do small planets tend to have little or no atmosphere?

Geography

This is because small planets do not have a high gravitational force to hold an atmosphere;  some might have had an atmosphere, but due to the little gravitational force it might have drifted away

A plate moving at a rate of 3 cm/year is moving toward a plate that is 1,500 km away. In how many years will the plates collide?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The plates will collide in 50,000,000 years.

Explanation:

The tectonic plates are constantly moving. Their movement results in some of them to collide, thus to form convergent plate boundaries. In this case, we have two plates that are relatively far away and the movement is about the average. In order to find out how many years will be needed for the plates to collide we need to:

  • convert the km into cm
  • divide the distance (in cm) between the plates with the rate of movement of the plate

1 km = 100,000 cm

100,000 x 1,500 = 150,000,000 cm

150,000,000 / 3 = 50,000,000 years

We get a result of 50 million years, meaning the plates will collide in this much time, which in geological terms is actually not that long.

Three ways to distinguish the continental margin from the deep<br> ocean basin
Furkat [3]
Marine waters cover 70.8% of the earth’s surface. And, if we substract the 5.5% area of the continental shelf, 65.3% of the earth’s surface is occupied by continental slope and rise, and deep-sea parts (data after Dietrich and Kalle 1957). The deep sea can be subdivided into several topographical units. There are deep-sea grabens<span> (15 in number), which cut deeper than 6,000 m. Deep-sea grabens are restricted to tectonic active regions near the foot of continental slopes.</span>

Should a stronger country today be able to tell a weaker country what to do? (Six sentences long plz otherwise I won't get credi
ruslelena [56]

I do not believe that a strong nation should be able to boss around weaker nations. This is just wrong in that a nation should be free to decide what it wants to do. A strong nation can assist them in developing. How ever they should not rule them. At that point that weaker nation will be stripped by of their sovereignty. This is not that times of Empires.
