A landslide moves a lot of the earth down a slope at one time

By a process know as mass wasting, aslo kinda of known as slope movement. It is the process when soil, rock, and regolith move down-slope under the force of gravity (So gravity is MAKING it go downslope).

Transform boundaries mostly surround the Scotia Plate. Which direction is the Scotia plate moving compared to the South American

sveta [45]

Explanation:It is moving WSW at 2.2 cm (0.87 in)/year and the South Sandwich Plate is moving east at 5.5 cm (2.2 in)/year in an absolute reference frame. The Scotia Plate is made of oceanic crust and continental fragments now distributed around the Scotia Sea.

The two lines of longitude that are found opposite from one another will always add up to?

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: 360°

Explanation;

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines that used along with latitudes allow us to be able to locate points on Earth. Longitudes are drawn vertically on maps with the most popular one being the Prime( Greenwich) meridian.

As the Earth is spherical, the lines of longitude encircle the Earth which means that an entire longitudinal line will be 360°. As maps are flattened out, the longitudinal line is divided into 2 such that the longitudinal lines seen on a map are 180° each. When a line of longitude is added to its opposite, they will reform the original line that runs around the earth thereby making 360°.

What was the purpose of Project Mercury?

RoseWind [281]

Basically, it was a NASA Space Task Group, and the goal of the program were to orbit a manned spacecraft around Earth, investigate the pilot's ability to function in space, and to recover both pilot and spacecraft safely .

hope this one has helped you any today . :)

. If the fastest passenger aircraft can fly 0.45 km/s (1000 mph), how long would it take to reach the sun? The galactic center?

nadezda [96]

Answer:

The passenger aircraft would take 10.542 years to reach the Sun from the Earth.

The passenger aircraft would take $1.733\times 10^{10}$ years to reach the gallactic center.

Explanation:

The distance to the sun from the Earth is approximately equal to $1.496\times 10^{8}\,km$ , if the passenger travels at constant speed, then the time needed to reach the sun is calculated by the following kinematic formula:

$\Delta t = \frac{s}{v}$ (1)

Where:

$s$ - Travelled distance, measured in kilometers.

$v$ - Speed of the passenger aircraft, measured in kilometers per second.

$\Delta t$ - Travelling time, measured in seconds.

If we know that $s = 1.496\times 10^{8}\,km$ and $v = 0.45\,\frac{km}{s}$ , then the travelling time is:

$\Delta t = \frac{1.496\times 10^{8}\,km}{0.45\,\frac{km}{h} }$

$\Delta t = 3.324\times 10^{8}\,s$

$\Delta t = 3847.736\,days$

$\Delta t = 10.542\,years$

The passenger aircraft would take 10.542 years to reach the Sun from the Earth.

The distance between the Earth and the galactic center is approximately equal to $2.460\times 10^{17}\,km$ . If the passenger travels at constant speed and if we know that $s = 2.460\times 10^{17}\,km$ and $v = 0.45\,\frac{km}{s}$ , then the travelling time is:
