Where do most earthquakes and volcanos occure?
they are formed along the crustal movements of the earth.
What happens when large sudden rock movements occur along a fault line?
Energy is released and earthquakes happen.
Is longitude horizontal or vertical?
The lines of longitude are vertical; longitude measures the horizontal distance from 0 degrees longitude. Here is a mnemonic that helps me: Latitude sounds a little like 'ladder-tude', and the rungs of a ladder are horizontal. I picture myself 'stepping up or down' the lines of ladder-tude, and this moves me farther north or farther south. That leaves vertical for longitude. While the lines of longitude are drawn from north to south, their locations measure a parameter that changes from east to west; longitude tells you how far east or west you are (in degrees, not distance) from the prime meridian (zero degrees longitude). Lines of latitude are drawn from east to west, and they measure how far north or south you are. So running the risk of confusing you, the "concept" of longitude (what is your position east/west of the prime meridian) is really horizontal in nature. This can be a little hard to grasp. Draw a line on a piece of paper; make the line exactly one inch from the left margin. You have drawn the line 'up and down', but the line is there to tell you how to get one inch from the margin (left-right) no matter where you are on the paper. And no matter where you are on the line, you are one inch to the right of the left margin. So if you travel up and down a line of longitude, you might cover several thousand miles, but you haven't budged from your measure of longitude-- how far you are (in degrees) from the prime meridian. As you travel along your line of longitude, you see hash-marks with changing numbers of degrees. These are not changes in longitude, but in latitude. They answer: How far north or south am I, along this line of longitude? When doing navigation, the simple thing is that lines of longitude are all long. Since they all go through both the North and South Pole, they are all the same length. Latitude lines vary in length. Latitude: LAT=FLAT Longitude: LONG (heights)
How do you find the slope between two locations on a topographic map?
. Lay a strip of paper along a line across the area where the profile is to be constructed.b. Mark on the paper the exact place where each contour, stream and hill top crosses the profile line.c. Label each mark with the elevation of the contour it represents.d. Prepare a vertical scale on profile paper by labeling the horizontal lines corresponding to the elevation of each index contour line.e. Place the paper with the labeled contour lines at the bottom of the profile paper and project each contour to the horizontal line of the same elevation.f. Connect the points.
What happens along a fault beneath earth's surface during an earthquake?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What monitors both vertical and horizontal movements along a fault?
GPS satellite system
Aforce of 50N acts along the horizontal what is its vertical compenents?
If the force is aligned with the horizontal, then its vertical component is zero.
What instrument measures the horizontal movements along faults?
tiltmeter
Vertical line along the left side of the graph and the horizontal line along the bottom?
These are the axes.
What happens if the curvature along the horizontal axis of the cornea is less than the curvature along the vertical axis?
astigmatism
How many ways can you divide a square into 4 equal parts?
Four:One each vertical and horizontal divisions along the centerlineTwo diagonal divisions from corner to cornerThree horizontal division equally spacedThree vertical divisions equally spaced
How do vertical transformations differ from horizontal transformations?
Vertical transformations involve shifting the graph up or down, affecting the y-values, while horizontal transformations involve shifting the graph left or right, affecting the x-values. Vertical transformations are usually represented by adding or subtracting a value outside of the function, while horizontal transformations are represented by adding or subtracting a value inside the function.
What does the gradient of a graph tell you?
It tells you the rate of change of the variable mapped along the vertical axis relative to the change in the variable mapped along the horizontal axis.
Data that cannot be controlled is placed where on a graph?
Along the horizontal axis, or the vertical axis if there are two variables that cannot be controlled.
How do you plot a trigonometry graph?
You plot the magnitude of the angle along the horizontal axis and the value of the trigonometric ratio on the vertical axis.
On a column chart the category labels display along the?
The category labels are displayed along the horizontal axis in the column chart. On the other hand, the data is plotted along the vertical axis.
What is V - t graph?
It is a velocity-time graph in which time is plotted along the horizontal axis and the velocity of an object in a selected direction is plotted along the vertical axis.
