You can apply motion path animation effects to move slide objects in a sequence that tells an effective story. Show
For example, the plane on the right (below) shows the starting point of the plane, and the dotted line between the two planes shows the path it will take when the animation plays. The transparent image on the left is where the plane will end up when the motion path animation is done.

In most cases, using one of the basic path animations is a perfect choice for adding interest to your slide. In the following example, we'll apply a Turn path animation to a graphic, use Effect Options to change the direction of the path, and then we'll use Reverse Path
Direction to get the final look we want. Example: applying a predefined path animation to a graphic On a blank slide, click Insert > Shapes > Rectangle (or another shape if you prefer), and then click in the upper-left corner of the slide to insert it. With the rectangle still selected, click Animations > Path Animation, and then under Basic, click Turn. After the animation preview is finished and click Effect Options on the Animations tab, and then click Down Right. Move your cursor over the animation end-point until it changes to a double arrow with a line through it, and then click and drag to the lower-right corner of the slide. Finally, click Effect Options > Reverse Path Direction. The animation now moves the graphic from the least visible place on the slide (lower right) to the most visible (upper left). To draw a custom path animation, select the object you want to animate and click Animations > Path Animations, and then select an option under Custom. The drawing method is different depending on the type of path you choose. If you selected a Curve or Freeform path:
If you selected a Line or Scribble path:
To change a custom path once you've drawn it:
Select the text or object that you want to apply an animation effect to. On the Animations tab, under Motion, click Paths, and then under Basic or Complex, click the type of motion path that you want. Tips:
Draw a custom motion path
Tips:
Adjust the path of the animation
Reverse the direction of the motion path
Close or open the pathA motion path is "closed" if the path ends where it started. A motion path is "open" if it ends in a different location than where it started.
To preview all animation effects on the slide, on the Animations tab, under Preview, click Play. Move the motion path on the slide
What is the movement between slides called?A slide transition is the visual effect that occurs when you move from one slide to the next during a presentation. You can control the speed, add sound, and customize the look of transition effects.
What type of animation is used to draw attention to an object already on a slide?An Emphasis animation does something to draw attention to an object; for example, the object can become larger. An Exit animation determines the manner in which an object leaves a slide; for example, an object can move off a slide.
What is used to show the slides to the audience?Slide shows are sometimes still conducted by a presenter using an apparatus such as a carousel slide projector or an overhead projector, but now the use of an electronic video display device and a computer running presentation software is typical.
Which of the following animation effects is used to draw audience attention to a specific slide?As their names suggest, entrance effects are animations that make objects appear on your slide and exit effects are animations that make them disappear. Emphasis effects draw attention to a specific object on the slide.
