What else can I help you with?
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?
A seismometer, which is a device that measures ground movements, can detect both vertical and horizontal movements along a fault. These instruments are crucial for monitoring seismic activity and predicting potential earthquakes.
What instrument measures the horizontal movements along faults?
A seismometer is the instrument used to measure horizontal movements along faults. It records the seismic waves generated by these movements.
Vertical line along the left side of the graph and the horizontal line along the bottom?
These are the axes.
Which word fits the following clues a letter that has horizontal and vertical symmetry a vertical symmetry no symmetry and horizontal symmetry?
The word that fits the clues is "H." It has both horizontal and vertical symmetry, as it looks the same when flipped along either axis. In contrast, the letter "Q" has vertical symmetry but no horizontal symmetry, while the letter "O" exhibits horizontal symmetry but no vertical symmetry.
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 is the difference between horizontal and vertical motion?
Horizontal motion refers to movement along the x-axis, while vertical motion refers to movement along the y-axis. In horizontal motion, the speed and acceleration are typically constant, while in vertical motion, the influence of gravity causes changes in speed and acceleration. Both types of motion can occur simultaneously in two-dimensional motion.
Is longitude horizontal?
Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.
What is horizontal motion vertical motion?
Horizontal motion is motion that occurs along the X-axis, while vertical motion is motion that occurs along the Y-axis. These two types of motion are independent of each other and must be considered separately when analyzing an object's trajectory.
Is an lengthwise horizontal of vertical?
A lengthwise orientation typically refers to an arrangement or measurement along the longer dimension of an object. This can be either horizontal or vertical depending on the context. For instance, if the object is laid flat, lengthwise would be horizontal, while if it is standing upright, lengthwise would be vertical. So, the specific orientation depends on how the object is positioned.
Where is vertical and where is horizontal adjustments located?
Vertical adjustments are typically found in mechanisms that allow movement along a vertical axis, such as in the height settings of office chairs or the elevation of a camera tripod. Horizontal adjustments, on the other hand, are located in systems that facilitate movement along a horizontal plane, like the side-to-side positioning of shelves or the horizontal tilt of a projector. Both types of adjustments are designed to enhance usability and comfort by allowing users to customize the positioning of objects or equipment.
What property allows analyzing the projectile motion in the horizontal plane and the vertical direction separately?
The independence of horizontal and vertical motion allows us to analyze projectile motion in these two directions separately. This means that the horizontal motion, affected by only the initial horizontal velocity, is not impacted by the vertical motion, which is influenced by gravity. Thus, we can treat the motion along each axis independently when studying projectile motion.
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.
