Abyssal plains were not recognized as distinct physiographic features of the sea floor until the late 1940s and, until very recently, none had been studied on a systematic basis. They are poorly preserved in the sedimentary record, because they tend to be consumed by the subduction process.
The first man to discover that the earth moves around the sun was an Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei.
The sun is the center point of the solar system. Earth moves around it. The sun is a great force of gravity (and is where the gravity on earth originates) keeping everything surrounding it in constant orbit around it.he   Earth moves around the Sun, it takes 365 days (one year) to go all  the way   aro â¦ und. As the Earth moves around the sun it is spinning.
