Answer:
True
Explanation:
As the Earth goes around the Sun, it will appear that Earth is stationary and Sun is going around it. One can observe the same in real life as well. This apparent path followed by the Sun is called Ecliptic. The plane consisting Ecliptic is called as Ecliptic plane which is same as the orbital plane of Earth.
All the planets of the Solar system are also going around the Sun. Their orbital plane has negligible tilt with respect to Ecliptic plane. Due to this the planets will always appear near to the Ecliptic as they move on the celestial sphere.
Answer: 20.2 m/s
Explanation:
From the question above, we have the following data;
M1 = 800kg
M2 = 1200kg
V1 = 13m/s
V2 = 25m/s
U (common velocity) =?
M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U
(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U
10400 + 30000 = 2000u
40400 = 2000u
U = 40400 / 2000
U = 20.2 m/s
Answer:
Continental drift theory describes the long term effect of plate tectonics.
Explanation:
The long term result of plate tectonic movement is the continental drift. The continents of Earth lay on tectonic plates, that are in motion and interaction via plate tectonics. The drift of the Earths continent is an ongoing process evident in the rift valleys and seafloor spreading zones.
The theory that the Earth's continents are dynamic and have drifted relative to each other is known as continental drift which correlates with the theory of plate tectonics.
Every year, the Earth's outer shell plates are displaced by a small amount due to the heat coming from the Earths interior via convection currents.
