What is an earth creep?

creep is a form of mass wasting, like a landslide only very slow inches, feet, per year

I love this type of science - this is the only science that I know _-- Earth Science!\n\nIn 1963, Fred Vine, Drummond Matthews, and others found that the crust surrounding the midocean ridges showed alternating bands -- each band magnetized with a polarity opposite the surrounding bands. They suggested that as new sea-floor crust was formed around the rift in the midocean ridge, it magnetized differently, depending upon the polarity of the planet at that time. This supported the theory that Harry Hess had put forth, that the ocean progressivley widens as new sea floor is created along a crack that follows the crest of midocean ridges.\n\nIn 1966, earth scientists first identified the Jaramillo Event, the wholesale reversal of Earth's magnetic fields some 900,000 years ago. This confirmed the theory that Earth's magnetic field had flip-flopped through the planet's life, and it made Matthews and Vine's 1963 finding quite clear. They realized that the pattern of reversals matched perfectly the magnetic profile they had compiled of the sea floor. This discovery, together with data from a 1964 research vessel, transformed the field of geology. It confirmed sea-floor spreading as hypothesized by Hess, and thus "continental drift," originally proposed by Alfred Wegener back in 1912. It convinced many that plate tectonics was the best theory to unify nearly all the previously accumulated, but disjoint geological data.

Earth: \nthe fragmental material composing part of the surface of the globe; especially: cultivable soil; or\nareas of land as distinguished from sea and air; or\nthe planet on which we live that is third in order from the sun.\n\nIt depends how you use it, really...

The earth is continuously bombarded by small cosmic dust particles, ranging in sizes. The bigger onces millimeter size and bigger burn up in the atmosphere of the earth leaving visible traces that may last seconds or longer.

I'm assuming you're asking about tectonic plate movement and not heavier stuff like the earth tilting on its axis. The first link shows a map of the earth currently and how it's moving so you can figure it out on your own.  The second link gives your the answer to your question.  It shows the Pacific Ocean getting much narrower.

A molten core of super heated metal (believed to be Iron and Nickel) is spinning at the center of the earth faster than the exterior of the earth is rotating.\n\nCharged Particles create a magnetic field when they move.

Seafloor spreading did the trick.  Wegner had the drift rate up to 100 times the actual rate, because he thought that the mechanism by which the earth's plates moved was by centrifugal force and tides.  When it was discovered that the seafloor was spreading, because the underlying material would heat up and become more plastic and allow for slippage, then the mechanism was explained and the rate of drift was brought into the right range.

its about being an earthing? i dunno ty for 2 :D

up and down are directions from a gravitional center.  So, one would be digging down from anywhere on the earth's surface until he got to the earth's gravitational center...then he'd be digging up.

Let me give you a chance to answer this question yourself with these two yes/no questions: Do you have to adjust your feet in order to stay in one spot for a long time (having to shuffle your feet to put them back in the correct spot as the earth moves under you?)\n\nOr has your house/appartment building ever slid off its foundation beause the earth moved under it?\n\nWhatever answer you choose, yes or no, that's the answer to your question, for the same reasons.

I hope this helps!\n\n\n\n\nWeathering refers to processes that physically breakdown and chemically alter earth material. Physical weathering, also known as mechanical weathering, is the breakdown of large pieces of earth material into smaller ones. Think of physical weathering as the disintegration of rock without changing its chemical composition. There are many ways earth material can be physically weathered. When water freezes in rock crevices it expands creating stress in the crevice. As the stress increases, the crevice widens ultimately breaking the rock. Plant roots wedge rocks apart as they grow into rock crevices too. The shrinking and swelling by alternating heating and cooling weakens mineral bonds causing the rock to disintegrate.\n\nA very important result of physical weathering is its impact on the surface area of weathered material. When a block of earth material is broken into several smaller pieces, the amount of exposed surface increases. Examine the diagram below. A block with a width, depth, and height of 1 cm has a total surface area of 6 square centimeters. If we break the block in half in all directions it yields eight smaller pieces all with width, height, and depth of .5 cm. Breaking the block apart creates additional exposed surfaces such that the total surface area is now 12 square centimeters. Having more total exposed surface provides more area upon which chemical reactions can take place to further weather the material.

the missisippi doesnt normally but it has before. sometime in the early 1900's (i cant remember when) a large earthquake, i think in the mossouri region, actually shifted the earths crust enough for it to run backwards for a short time. this was isolated however and has only happened once in recorded history

the reaction of gravity is movement, if the object is bigger than earth then it will attract earth and earth will react

The attractive force of the "magnet earth" is much smaller than it's gravitational force. In fact it's negligibly small. Proof: put an iron object on the table, like a knife. Despite it being much more closer to the earth than the moon, it will not budge.

Basically, an earthworm "burrows into and helps aerate soil."\n\nThese links might be able to help you with your question.

Sea floor spreading is driven by two things. Upwelling magma from beneath the crust erupts at these spreading centers, and pressure and heat from these forms a bulge and magma pushes the plates apart.  Spreading is driven by the mass of the region around the spreading center as it increases and slides off of the bulge pushing outward. At the opposite end of the oceanic plate, there is a pulling motion, caused by colder subducting slabs sinking downward into the asthenosphere. This push-pull motion sets up a gradual motion of the seafloor outward from the mid-ocean ridges. \n\nAnother mechanism that may be contributing to this movement is what is called friction of convection. As plastic nearly-molten rock moves through the mantle is may be dragging these plates along by fricton. Since the spreading centers are likely to be upwellings of deep hot rock, the flow would be moving away from these centers under the ocean crust and pulling it away from the centers.
