Question

Compare a slow change such as continents moving with a rapid change such as a meteorite striking Earth. What are some of the similarities in the way the two changes affect Earth? What are some of the differences?

Answer 1

A slow change such as continents moving will create differences in ecosystems. This is also the same effect caused by a rapid change such a meteorite striking earth. These two phenomena will create diversity and different living conditions. The slow change however, will give organisms time to adopt giving them a good chance of survival unlike a rapid change which will give most, if not all, organisms little chance to survive

Answer 2

DIFFERENCES : The movement of the continents is due to the movement of tectonic plates
but the meteorite striking earth is the affect of gravitational force
the movement of continents is only found on earth
but meteorites hit all the bodies in the universe

SIMILARITIES: Tectonic plates movement causes change in geographical structures ex- Himalayas
Both causes disastrous and adverse effects such as earth quakes and tsunami when meteor hits earth in the ocean
