The correct answer is:
<span>A. orbiting closer to the earths surface. 

In fact, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the satellite is
</span>F=G \frac{Mm}{r^2}
<span>where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth mass
m is the satellite mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's surface

We can see that, if the satellite orbits closer to the Earth's surface, its distance r from the centre of the planet decreases. But when r decreases, F (the gravitational force) increases, so A is the correct answer.</span>

Explain the theory of plate tectonics and how they have changed Earth’s surface over time. Include the role of plate tectonics i
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics describes the movement of the plates across the Earth's lithosphere (the crust and upper mantle) through immense periods of time. Earth's litoshphere is composed of 7 (or 8, depending on how they are defined) major plates and many more minor plates.

The movement is attributed to different phenomena stemming from Earth's rotation, gravity, and mantle dynamics. All of these forces play a role in influencing the size, shape, and positioning of the different landmasses that currently shape our continents and islands.

Explanation:

In a nutshell, land originated from magma in the Earth's core escaping through the cracks and making its way to the ocean. The water cooled down the magma and this process created all of the land both above and below the sea. The landforms that we see all around the Earth today were formed thanks to collisions and separations of the plates thoughout billions of years.
