What is Earth's angular momentum when it is at perihelion in its orbit?
The point at which Earth is closest to the the Sun is called perihelion. Even though Earth is close to the Sun then, the Northern hemisphere experiences winter then. This is because the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun at perihelion.
Does angular momentum of a planet depend on its mass and distance from the sun?
Of course! The mass controls its speed, momentum, and how it tilts as its rotation around the sun continues. As a planet rotates on its axis, it will tilt at the sun, which is a big gravity machine. The earth is believe to be tilted because of collisions that are believed to have taken place billions of years ago. The earth collided with other proto planets in space, and became tilted. - pianodriver
Why are the seasons reversed in the northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
Is Saturn a tilted planet?
Yes just like Earth it has a tilted axis.
Rock strata may be what?
Tilted at steep angles and horizontal or slightly tilted.
What is an angular unconformities?
An angular unconformity is a type of unconformity in which a sedimentary stratum is deposited on top of another stratum which has been significantly tilted and subsequently eroded flat.
What name is given to layers of tilted rocks that are overlain by younger more flat lying rock layers?
angular unconformity
What is the angular unconformity?
Tilted strata lie below the unconformity; bedding in younger strata above is parallel to the unconformity.
What is the definition angular unconformity?
Tilted strata lie below the unconformity; bedding in younger strata above is parallel to the unconformity.
Which of the following best characterizes an angular unconformity?
Tilted strata lie below the unconformity; bedding in younger strata above is parallel to the unconformity.
What type of rock is an angular disconformity?
An angular unconformity, which is what I think you mean, is not a rock type. It denotes the junction of two strata of rocks where the lower one was tilted by tectonic forces, eroded, then overlain with horizontal parallel strata.
What. Type of unconformity consists of tilted sedimentary rocks that are overlain by younger more flat lying sedimentary rocks?
angular unconformity
What name is given to layers of tilted rocks that are overlain by younger more flat- lying rock layers?
angular unconformity is the answer because it is tilted
If you wanted to know whether a certain mountain was formed by compression what would you look for?
idont know thats kinda why i asked you duh...lol
What would you look for if you wanted to know if a mountain was formed by compression?
Tilted and folded rock formations.
How does Wegener's hypothesis explain why earth's surface must be moving?
These layers of sedimentary rock were once horizontal. Then crustal movement folded and tilted them.
In science terms what is folding?
Folding is when formerly flat sedimentary layers of rock are uplifted and literally tilted and folded in the mountain building process.
