True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
Are globes and maps marked with imaginary lines for geographers to use colocate on earths surface?
Yes
Are contour lines used to indicate horizontal distances or vertical distances on earths surface?
Horizontal
What imaginary lines form the earth's grid system?
The imaginary lines that form the earths grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines go horizontally from east to west, where longitude lines go vertical from north to south.
What is the name of the earths imaginary lines?
the axis
What is the Imaginary rod on which the earth rotate?
The axis
What are meridian?
A Meridian or Meridian Line is an imaginary line drawn between two points. In geography these two points are an imaginary arc on the earths surface from the North to the South Poles. In astronomy it is an imaginary circle in a perpendicular plane to those planes of the celestial equator and horizon.
What is the Movement within the earth that cause buried rock to be exposed at the earths surface?
The movement within the Earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the Earth's surface is called uplift. It refers to the vertical elevation of the Earth's surface.
Is the north and south pole on a axis?
The North and South Poles are indeed imaginary points on the Earths surface where the line of the axis of it's spin would pass through.
Does the Earths rotation take place on an imaginary line called its axis?
Yes. The invisible "axis" lies vertical directly through the Earth. It's tilted though, at an angle. (Explains why it's colder at the poles.)
What percent of the earths surface is the US?
