Answer:

The asteroid's path is a trajectory path which could be called an orbit.

Explanation:

When an object moves along a curved path or circular path, a centripetal force is required to sustain it in the path. The forms atrajectory path in which the object continues to move when no external forces are applied.

The Sun applies a gravitational force (centripetal force) on the asteroid after it got bumped from the spot on Jupiter. This force applied constrained it to move in the long oval shape every 15 years continuously. The long oval shape is in a form of trajectory path which could be called an orbit. Therefore, we can say that the asteroid orbits around the Sun and completes the path every 15 years.

Annotate around the image showing plate tectonic theory to explain how the continents drifted apart.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The crust broke up because of the convection currents, formed tectonic plates, and is slowly pushed on the surface until it collides with another plate and subducts.

Explanation:

This image gives us the basics of how the plate tectonics theory works. The material in the upper mantle is cooler and denser than the material in the lower mantle, so it drops down and it pushes the hotter and less dense material up. This creates a circular motion in the mantle, and this motion creates enormous pressure on the crust above it and breaks it up.

As the crust is broken up, magma is rising constantly for millions of years, so the new magma pushes the old solidified one further away. This also pushes two pieces of crust away from each other. As the crusts move away, they eventually collide with another plate, and either gradually merge with it, or a subduction zone is created. In the latter, the crust moves below another crust and into the mantle, where it gets melted and recycled.
