What information about an object can be used to describe its motion?
A.
direction, position, and mass
B.
mass, position, and speed
C.
position, direction, and speed
D.
speed, mass, and direction

You don't need the object's mass to describe its motion. The direction and speed can be combined to form the velocity vector. The position along with the velocity vector helps us determine where the object is likely to end up next.

An example is this: We have a truck in city A and it's traveling north to city B at a speed of 50 mph. It's position is in this city. It's velocity is composed of the speed of 50 mph and the direction is north. All of these three factors help us conclude that the truck is likely aimed for city B.

explanation:

plate tectonics and volcanic euptions

over time, plate tectonic processes cause continents to move to different positions on the globe.

for example, britain was near to the equator 300 million years ago, and therefore was hotter than it is today. for further details look at our climate through time poster or online map.

the movement of the plates also causes volcanoes and mountains to form and these too can contribute to a change in climate.

mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics. large mountain chains can influence the circulation of air around the globe, and consequently influence the climate.   warm air might be deflected somewhere cooler by the mountains.
