What factors determine an earthquale's intensity on the modifield Mercalli scale?
The amount of structural and geological damage done by an earthquake in a specific location determines an earthquake's intensity on the Mercalli scale.
Where is the best loacation for a barometer?
If you are using it outdoors for weather measurement, then a location sheltered from the wind is best. If you are using it indoors to monitor laboratory conditions, then a location which is free of drafts is best. That is, avoid placing it near air ducts. The general rule for a barometer is to place it in a location with a low amount of air circulation, so that you can measure the static pressure. Also keep in mind that you want to be able to read the instrument.
Why is three the minimum number of stations necessary to locate an epicenter?
Three seismic stations are needed to find the epicenter of an earthquake because all three radial circles made by the stations will only meet at one point. (example: if you only had to circles they would meet at two different points)At least 3
How are absolute location and relative location different?
An object's absolute location is its objective location, which technically doesn't exist. Relative location is the location of one object in relation to another object.
What is the technology that shows the form amount and location of precipitation?
It is an ancient weather instrument called a rain gauge. A funnel is inserted into a tube. A measurement of 1/10 inch in the rain gauge is actually 1 inch of rain. It can measure as little as .01 inches of rain.
Earthquakes are measured with an instrument called a?
A seismogram traces the earthquakes motion that is created by the seismograph and the seismograph records vibrations in the ground and determines the location and strength of an earthquake.
Which determines which stars you see at night?
Your location and and the local weather conditions. The location, distance and luminosity of the stars
What instrument can be used to find your location in a forest?
A compass is used to find your location in a forest
What instrument tracks location on precipitation?
Rain Guage
The longitude of location determines which time zones are the result of?
earth's rotation
What conditions determines the average amount of energy a location receives?
Latitude
What is greatest factor that determines climate in any given location?
latitude
What is the greatest factor that determines climate in any given location?
latitude
What The location of the determines how cold it is in the midwestern US.?
Polar jet stream
The location of the determines how cold it is in the midwestern US?
Polar jet stream
How does the latitude of a location impact the location's climate?
since latitude is the distance from the equator the lattitude determines how warm or cold it is
What instrument that is used to determine a star or planet's location?
Whatever Instrument that it turns out to be, my issue is; how do we get to confirm its measurements?
