The state of balance or equilibrium which sections of the earths lithosphere achieve when vertical forces upon them are changed?
Isostasy.
What do you call the vertical sections of the periodic table?
The vertical sections of the periodic table are called groups or columns.
What are the vertical and horizontal cross sections of a rectangular pyramid?
The vertical cross sections are trapezia or triangles. The horizontal cross sections are rectangles which are mathematically similar to the base.
What is a vertical shift?
A vertical shift is the vertical motion of a function on a graph through manipulation of the y-coordinates, while simultaneously leaving the x-coordinates unchanged. A horizontal shift is the opposite of a vertical shift, in that the function is moving horizontally by manipulating the x-coordinates and leaving the y-coordinates unchanged.
What is the condition of coplanar forces in equilibrium?
In equilibrium, the sum of total vertical, total horizontal forces = 0, and movement of the body = 0.
What has the author Janusz A Ordover written?
Janusz A. Ordover has written: 'Equilibrium vertical foreclosure'
The vertical cut that divides the body into anterior and posterior sections is called?
Frontal plane
Can be described as cuts made diagonally between the horizontal and the vertical planes?
Oblique sections
What is a quadrant in a graph?
A graph is divided into 4 sections by one vertical line and one horizontal line. Each of the resultant sections is called a quadrant.
What vein pattern do maple leafs have?
there are three sections of the leaf, each section has on vertical line on it. horizontal lines come out of the vertical line. The answer is palmate.
What are body planes?
imaginary vertical and horizontal lines used the divide the body into sections for descriptive purposes......
What is isostacy and how does it explain why the earts land masses are not flat?
isostacy refers to equilibrium that exist between part of the crust.in geology the term is used to refer to gravitational equilibrium between lithosphere and asthenosphere. isostacy is explained by isostacy theory that state ;=total mass of the rock in any vertical column of unit cross-section is constant. Two hypothesis are used to explain the earth,that is -principle of mass compensation by J.H Pratt in 1854 -principle of depth compensation by G.B Airy in 1855.
