A body of mass m has weight
F = GMm/r²
on the surface of the Earth, where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, and r is it's radius.
If the weight is to be halved, then we have
1/2 F = 1/2 GMm/r² = (1/√2)² GMm/r² = GMm/(√2 r²)
so the distance between the body and the planet's center needs to be
√2 × 6.4 × 10⁶ m ≈ 9.1 × 10⁶ m
<span>Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record</span>
Lahars can also be formed when high-volume or long-duration rainfall occurs during or after an eruption. It can change the shape of a mountain by blowing parts of it away, but volcanic eruptions can also build up the land around a volcano when lava flows out and hardens on the surface. The surface of the Earth can crack and shift during an earthquake above the point where the crust moves.
