What is pressure gradient?
It is a difference in pressure
Do closely spaced contour lines indicate a steep slope or a gradual slope?
Steep slope. Each line is a different elevation. The distance between them is an indication of how fast the elevation is changing. If they are close together it means a small horizontal movement will result in a greater vertical change that when they lines are far apart - where you would have to travel a greater horizontal distance to move across the same number of contour lines (to get the same elevation change).
How do you calculate gradient on a topographic map?
change in elevation: Distance So if the highest is 300m and the lowest is 100m then the change will be 200m. Pretend the distance between the two places is 1km but you have to make the units the same and kilometer does not equal meters so you have to convert km to m. Since 1000m=1km then 1km is 1000m and that will be the distance so 200m:1000m is 1:5 remember that there is no units for gradient. So the the answer is 1:5 or 0.2 or 20% Hope that helped!
What is a differences in concentration called?
concentration gradient
What does slope of the graph of v vs t represents?
ski You don't state what the letters stand for, but if velocity (or more accurately, speed) and time then the gradient (dv/dt where "d" means "difference in") will give the acceleration. At constant speed the line will be horizontal so the gradient will = 0, i.e, neither acceleration nor deceleration.
What is a change in elevation?
the measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient
Change in elevation divided by distance?
It's the Gradient.
Measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called what?
The measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient.
What is change in elevation called?
the measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient
How do you calculate gradient?
Gradient= Vertical gain / Horizontal distance Hope this helps ;P
What is the ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance?
It is a measure of the average gradient or slope.
What is Change in elevation divided by difference?
i presume from the question that you are referring to the gradient of a line or road/hill the gradient of a hill is the change in the height (the rise) divided by the hozintal distance (the run) i hope this helps
A measure of the change in elevation over a certain distance?
This would be the slope or the gradient.
What is the unite for gradient in a topographic map?
"Gradient" of a point quantity is a measurement of how fast it changes in a specific direction. For topography, the gradient of the land is its slope in some direction. It would work out to be dimensionless, because it has to be change in elevation/distance which is length/length no matter what units you use for the elevation or distance.
What is a measure of the change in elevation over a certain distance?
This is mathematically known as slope or "rise/run".
What is pressure gradient?
It is a difference in pressure
What is the significance of the slope on a distance vs time graph?
The gradient of that line will be the speed of the object, because the gradient is the difference in y over the difference in x, while the speed is the difference in distance over the difference in time.
