If one of the earths plates moves 5 centimeters every year how far will it move in 500 years?
Twenty five meters.
Of True North and Magnetic North and Compass North which way is really up?
True North is the real North, following along the lines of longitude which converge at the North Pole, the farthest geographically North point on the planet, and the rotational axis of the planet. Magnetic North and Compass North are both the same thing, with the compass pointing along Magnetic North. Magnetic North however, is not the real North. If you were to follow your compass as far North as it could point, you would end up on the Prince of Wales Island in the Northwest Territories of Canada, over 1,500 miles away from the North Pole. Magnetic North can be adjusted to True North on your compass by knowing the local magnetic variation of your area and adding/subtracting accordingly. A third North is Grid North, which follows the Grid Lines on a standard map. At the South Pole, every direction is True North, so Grid North is used instead and can be found by following the Prime Meridian northwards. Hope that helps.
How did volcanoes affect the early earths atmosphere?
Early volcanoes discharged different combinations of gases into the Earth's atmosphere creating rain, which cooled the planet and formed solid land masses, and every other element discovered presently.
How do rotation and tilt each affect the ammount of solar energy that differenty parts of earth receive?
They affect because earths rotation can go larger and sorter from sun and ,tilt affects because it can move earth at every side and that has a shadow in other part of earth.
How long does it take to grow berries in heartgold?
I believe it takes approximately 16 hours. You have to water it every 1-2 hours for maximum profit.
About how do earths magnetic poles reverse?
every 250,000 years :)
Earths magnetic poles reverse approximately every years?
The Earth's magnetic poles do not reverse every year. On average, the magnetic poles reverse every 200,000 to 300,000 years. The last reversal happened around 780,000 years ago.
Minerals in igneous rocks can show the direction of earths?
The Earth magnetic field changes approximately every 200,000 thousand years.
About how often do earths magnetic poles?
every 250,000 years :)
Why do scientists think that earths' magnetic field has not always pointed north?
Every 100,000 years or so, the Earths magnetic field shifts direction. North becomes south, south becomes north.
About how often do earths magnetic poles reverse?
Every 250,000 years, when it farts
How often does the sun's poles flip?
The sun's magnetic poles flip approximately every 11 years, coinciding with the sunspot cycle. This phenomenon is known as solar magnetic field reversal.
A space curiosity that returns to earths view approximately every 76 years?
Halley's Comet
Earths magnetic field results from movements in what?
The Earth's magnetic field results from electric currents in the mantle and outer core around the iron solid core; every electricmagnet is prduced as a result of electricity flowing around a iron core - the same principle works in our own magnetic field.
What do the earths magnetic poles move around?
The Earth's magnetic poles move due to changes in the movement of molten iron in the outer core of the Earth. This causes fluctuations in the magnetic field which results in the movement of the magnetic poles.
What is the space curiosity that returns to earths view approximately every 76 years?
Halley's Comet is a well-known comet that orbits the Sun approximately every 76 years. It last appeared in 1986 and will next be visible from Earth in 2061.
How does the earths magnetic fieldprotecting the life on earth?
I saw a show on this topic. Every once in a while the sun shoots out solar flares, these are made out of the suns material and are dangerous, they also go pretty far. Occasionaly one heads straight for earth, but the earths magnetic is strong enough to make a "shield" around the earth (sorry if this isn't enough detail).
