Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, which ended about 66 million years ago, while the geology of Elmira, New York, primarily consists of sedimentary rocks formed during the Paleozoic Era. This means that the age of the bedrock in the area predates the existence of dinosaurs, making it highly unlikely to find their fossils there. Additionally, the conditions necessary for fossilization are not typically present in older sedimentary formations.

What lines of latitude and longitude meet near elmira?

Technically I can't answer that, because I have no way to know whether you're asking about the Elmira in Ontario, California, Michigan, Prince Edward Island, or Oregon. But I'll answer it anyway, for the Elmira in New York, just because I grew up near there. The center of the intersection of E Water St and Lake St, downtown on the north bank of the river near the County Historical Society Museum, is located at 42.0884° north latitude 76.8010° west longitude. You can draw a line on the map at ANY latitude and ANY longitude. If you draw a set of lines at those numbers, than that's where they'll cross. There's no official set of 'lines' that everybody has to use. But ... I didn't say that Elmira is "located at" that latitude and longitude. A set of "coordinates" describes a single point, so it's not possible for the whole city to be right there. There are an infinite number of OTHER points that are also in Elmira and all have different coordinates.


Describe the Elmira ny Region?

Elmira's a dying, chilly little upstate New York town...like many Upstate cities, its been in decline since the 50's as manufacturing gradually moved out. The town was also hit hard by a flood in the early 1970s, and most people with any money or sense who hadn't gotten out by then, did so afterwards. Most of the downtown has been demolished by urban renewal, replaced by some lovely parking decks. There are some great old houses, but many of them are in bad shape. In addition, it's annoyingly far from every major city on the East Coast...4 hrs from Philadelphia, 4 1/2 from NYC, 5 from Toronto, Cleveland, DC, and Pittsburgh. You get the sense that everyone in Elmira would rather be someplace else. Honestly, it's a pretty awful place. I moved up here for work 5 months ago, but I chose to live in Corning, 20 miles away, as I couldn't stomach the thought of spending all my time here.


At which location is the altitude of Polaris approximately 42?

The altitude of Polaris is approximately 42 degrees above the horizon when observed from a location around 42 degrees latitude in the northern hemisphere. This means that at locations close to the 42nd parallel, such as parts of New York City or southern France, Polaris would have an altitude of around 42 degrees.


What is the fastest carousel in the world?

There are basically only two ways a carousel horse can move. The first is the ones that move up and down while the carousel spins. The second are stationary without the up/down movement but spin around with the moving 'floor' of the ride. So I guess the horses that have the up/down movement will be moving faster than the stationary animals.
