Answer:

Earth has two poles North and South they are considered as the two corners of earth.

Explanation:

The imaginary i.e equator or zero degrees, the line divides the equator into two parts of North and South zones named as Poles. Seen as ends of the earth and composed of Positive and Negative physical properties.  

Located at a 90 degree to North and South of the geographic equator. Generating magnetic fields. these have formed by the earth rotation and form a part of arctic and antarctic circles cover from 60 to 90 degrees on both the hemispheres.  

The poles are a window of earth past, many times also here have been shifts in the history of the earth poles and they have shifted earlier in the north pole was located over Canada, and the south pole was near South America. Alfred Wegener in his plate tectonic theory also mentioned the polar wandering forces.

Based on the metamorphic rock at Van Hise Rock, Rock Springs, the protoliths will become quartzite and phyllite.

<h3>What rocks will the protoliths form?</h3>

The Sandstone(Quartz) will go through processes and eventually deform into the rock known as quartzite.

Shale will go through similar degradation processes to become the rock,  phyllite.

On the Earth, how does plate velocity vary with distance from the pole of rotation?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Yes, the length of plate widening started from the poles and extends towards the other poles

Explanation:

  • As the aspects of spherical geometry, the relative plate motion is affected by the rotation of the earth on its axis and not all are located at the geographic poles. As an example of mid-oceanic ridges that have a spreading value of 37-40 mm/year in southern Atlantic.
  • Hene rotation of the poles can be determined by the accuracy an orientation of the mid-Atlantic ridges. Another example is of the African plate is moving to the east and the northern plate is moving to the west as template rotation is anticlockwise and paleomagnetism pole is and evident to this phenomenon.
  • Spreading and splitting of the supercontinent like Pangaea created a major displacement in the orient rock and thus led by the rotation of the earth, this phenomenon also called the Euler pole and rotation angle based on the earth's orbit around the sun.
