What are fault boundaries?
Fault boundaries are the places where two tectonic plates (sections of the earth's crust) meet. Because of the movement of the plates against one another, fault boundaries are the locations where most earthquakes occur.
Why are there places on earth that experience polar days and polar nights?
i think because of the Earth's elliptical orbit, less sunlight reaches these places at the aphelion. =)
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
What shop can you buy top trumps?
You can buy them from places like RSMcolls and WhSmiths
What is the purpose of a political map?
The purpose of a political boundary map is to show the boundaries that separate countries throughout the world, as well as the states or provinces within them; giving you insight on the location of different places and their relativity to other locations.
Not all places on the earth receive the same amount of direct sunlight because of?
the tilt of the earths axis
Do you get more or less direct sunlight at the equator?
You receive more direct sunlight at the equator compared to other places on Earth due to its position near the middle of the planet. This is because the sun is directly overhead at noon, resulting in more intense and direct sunlight.
Why don't all places on the earth receive the same amount of direct sunlight?
The Earth's round shape and tilted axis cause variations in the amount of sunlight different places receive. The angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface changes as it revolves around the sun, leading to seasonal variations in daylight hours and intensity. This results in different regions receiving varying levels of direct sunlight throughout the year.
Are the places on earth that receive the most direct sun the warmest?
Yes, that's exactly how it works. The more direct the angle of the sunlight (which is to say, the closer that angle is to being perpendicular to the surface) the more warmth will result.
Are all places along the equater warm Why or why not?
cause it gets direct sunlight
How does the shape of the land cause some places to receive more solar radiation than other places?
The shape of the land can affect the angle at which sunlight hits the surface, leading to variations in solar radiation. For example, mountainous areas may receive more direct sunlight due to their elevation, while valleys or canyons may receive less sunlight due to shading. Additionally, landforms can influence local wind patterns and cloud cover, which further impact the distribution of solar radiation.
Why do different places on earth receive different amount of solar energy?
Different places on Earth receive varying amounts of solar energy due to factors such as the angle of sunlight hitting the surface, the length of the day, and the presence of clouds or atmospheric conditions that can affect sunlight absorption. The Earth's spherical shape also means that the equator receives more direct sunlight, leading to higher solar energy intensity compared to the poles.
Why does temperature of a place depends on latitude?
Latitude affects temperature because the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth varies with latitude. Places closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight, making them warmer, while places closer to the poles receive sunlight at a more oblique angle, leading to cooler temperatures.
Do people near the Equator get more sunlight than people from other places?
Yes, people near the Equator receive more sunlight throughout the year due to their proximity to the sun's direct rays. This results in a more consistent and intense exposure to sunlight compared to regions farther from the Equator.
What are warm places?
Places the are always warm are the ones near or on the equator due to the fact that this region gets the most direct sunlight.
Why are some places very cold and some very hot?
The temperature in a specific location is influenced by factors like distance from the equator, altitude, proximity to bodies of water, and prevailing wind patterns. Areas closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight, making them hotter, while areas further from the equator tend to be colder due to receiving less direct sunlight and the angle at which sunlight reaches the Earth's surface.
Are all places among the equator very warm and why?
Because of the Earth's positioning and tilt on its axis, the places on equator receive much sunlight, hence hotter, although not longest amount of time with sunlight.
