GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Earth is in a constant state of change. Earth’s crust, called the lithosphere, consists of 15 to 20 moving tectonic plates. The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth’s mantle and fit snugly against one another.

Detailed explanation-2: -That shift of mass would increase the length of day by only 0.06 microseconds and make the Earth only very slightly more round in the middle and flat on the top. It would shift the pole position by about two centimeters (0.8 inch).

Detailed explanation-3: -The seismic waves shake the earth as they move through it, and when the waves reach the earth’s surface, they shake the ground and anything on it, like our houses and us!

Detailed explanation-4: -An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of Earth due to the sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust, as a result, seismic waves (also known as S waves)are created. The seismic activities in an area determine the type and intensity of the earthquake.

Detailed explanation-5: -The crust. This brittle, outermost layer varies in thickness from about 25 to 70 km under continents and from about 5 to 10 km under the oceans. The mantle. The core. Divergent boundary. Convergent boundary. Transform boundary. Normal fault. Reverse fault. More items
