What type of fault results from horizontal shearing between plates?
Horizontal shearing at tectonic plate boundaries results in a special type of strike slip fault known as a transform fault.
What is antipodal focusing?
I 1st heard the term used w/ reference to shock waves from an asteroid impact that's so massive, they meet on the opposite side of the World(which is what "antipodal" means) The results are said to be disasterous.
If you're at the seashore on a sunny summer day In which directions is the wind blowing why?
The wind will be blowing from the water towards the land. This is because during the day, the ground is heated faster than the water (because it takes a lot of energy to heat water as compared to earth). What results is that the ground is hot, and the water is relatively cool. The air above the hot ground is then heated, whereby it becomes less dense. This results in the air rising. The opposite happens over the water, the air is cooled, and becomes more dense, and falls down towards the water. By the conservation of mass, there must be air replaced at the points where it is moving, and the result is a convection current, which will blow wind from the water towards the shore at sea level.
What are the three main atmospheric lifting mechanisms?
Orthographic Lifting- air is forced to rise over a mountainous area Frontal wedging- warmer, less dense air is forced over cooler, denser air Convergence- a pile-up of horizontal air flow results in upward movement
What is in Earth's results in rotation?
The earth's rotation results in daytime and nighttime.
What results when forces within earth are pulled horizontally in opposite directions?
shearing
What type of fault results from horizontal shearing between plates?
Horizontal shearing at tectonic plate boundaries results in a special type of strike slip fault known as a transform fault.
What results when forces within the earth are pulled or stretch from opposite directions?
Tension
What results when forces within earth are pulled or stretched from opposite directions?
Tension
What results when forces within the earth are pulled horizontally opposite directions?
a-plus compression
Results when forces within the earth are pulled or stretched from opposite directions?
Tension, i do believe. common sense.
The difference between upscale and downscale results in an instruments response when subjected to the same input approached from opposite directions is known as?
Hysteresis
What causes the wheels of a car to rotate in opposite directions when the wheels are off the ground?
The wheels of a vehicle may rotate in different directions if they have a system that is called "spur-gear differential." Pinion pairs are displaced axially, and mesh part of the length between two spur gears, results in rotation in opposite directions.
ACTION & REACTION?
A force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. The push and the pull act in opposite directions; Action & Reaction forces which are equal & opposite
What is the results of incorrect horizontal angulation?
Incorrect horizontal angulation will result in overlapped contacts.
Why does a node in a standing wave have zero displacement?
a node results from the superposition of two waves going in the opposite directions. Where the node is, the two waves cancel each other out.
What do horizontal and vertical lines mean in pregnancy results?
my pregnancy test positive result should be vertical but is horizontal
