Nodal Lines


What is the name of the two sets of imaginary lines on the globe?

-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.


How are longitude and latitude lines the same and how are they different?

Similarities:Both sets of lines may be printed on maps and globes in any desired color,with any desired thickness and at any desired interval, and can even notbe present at all.Difference:Longitude lines are semicircles, and are all the same length ... about 12,250 miles.Latitude lines are full circles, and their lengths range from zero to about 24,500 miles.


What if your data doesn't graph into a straight line?

Many sets of data do not form into straight lines. If by "What if" you mean how to plot a line onto this graph. Then simply draw a curved line of best fit.


Why are the magnetic poles and the geographic poles of the earth not in the same place?

No, it can but it doesn't necessarily need a variable. I have no idea what the previous answer means. The earth spins on its axis. The spin axis provide the geographic north and south poles. On the other hand the earth's magnetism does not work like a bar magnet. Instead, the iron and cobalt core spins at a slightly faster rate than the rest of the earth. This sets up eddy electrical currents which creates magnetic fields. In the northern hemisphere, the magnetic fields join under Northern Canada.
