A boy set up an experiment with a flashlight representing the sun pointing at a ball representing the moon. He sets a ball repre
senting the earth between the flashlight and the moon ball so the earth is directly between the sun and moon. He stands behind the flashlight and looks at the moon ball. What would he see?
When the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, the directly light from the Sun is blocked and the Moon is illuminated by the light reflect of of Earth called Earthshine.
A solar eclipse happens when the disk of the Moon passes in front of the Sun and darkens part of the surface of the Earth.
A transit is the movement of a planet across the face of the Sun. From Earth we can observe transits of Mercury and Venus, but these planets are fall to small and far away to block the entire face of the Sun.
There Have been major phases of the breakup of the Pangea and began in the early and the middle Jurassic period. When the Pangea as lifted from the sea and this led to the formation of the new ocean and they formed multiple small continents and these rearranged themselves with the opening and the closing of these as and thus reconfiguration of the continent after the plate tectonic event s and climatic shifts.
The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundary of the earth tectonic plates as earthquakes have the seismic energy that gets transferred to the landscape and as result to this the transform, divergent and convergent boundaries along the plate margins can be found.
Deep focus earthquakes are those that have shallow bases and origin in trenches where the lands are subdued under the plates and are associated with prominent oceanic features like the mid-oceanic ridges, deep-sea ridges, and seamounts, guyots and canyons, etc.
The ocean floor of convergence that creates the deep-seated earthquake as being collided with land and an oceanic plate or being collided with an oceanic and oceanic plate boundary. Physical features are faults and rift valleys.
The tonga trench is located near the tonga island and in the southwestern pacific ocean, is the second deepest trench on earth. Pacific plate is being subdued under this tench with an in convergence rate of 15 cm/year. Thus the rigid slab of lithosphere plate is being pulled towards this zone of convergence.
