There isn't one.

The Earth is a sphere and has no "plane surface".

What is earths equatorial plane?

Earth's equatorial plane is an imaginary plane that divides the Earth into two equal halves, creating the equator. It is perpendicular to the Earth's axis of rotation, which means it is horizontal in relation to the planet's poles.


What are cracks in the earth's surface called?

Cracks in the Earth's surface are called faults. These are fractures where movement has occurred along the fault plane, leading to displacement of the rocks on either side. Earthquakes commonly occur along faults.


What is an imaginary surface that contains Earth's orbit?

The imaginary surface that contains Earth's orbit is called the ecliptic. This is the path that the Earth follows as it orbits around the Sun. It is important in astronomy for understanding the movement of celestial bodies in our solar system.


Where is the vertical plane in earth?

A vertical plane is any plane where the normal (a line at 90 degrees to the plane) is horizontal. All your walls are vertical planes. The normal to the plane of the Earth's orbit is often used to define "up" and "down" for planet Earth. The Earth's axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees away from this "vertical" line. Also you could define "vertical" as simply the direction shown by a plumb line. That's the definition which has walls as vertical planes. With either definition there will be more than one plane that is a vertical plane.


Fault movement begins deep within the Earth at a point called the .?

Fault movement begins deep within the Earth at a point called the fault plane. This is the surface within the Earth where rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. The movement along the fault plane is what causes earthquakes.

What is a representation usually on a plane surface showing region of the earth?

A representation on a plane surface showing regions of the Earth is called a 'projection'. Or it might simply be called a map.


What is the similarity between plane surveying and geodetic surveying?

in plane survey the surface of earth assume as plane or straight its uses as limited distance where as in geodetic survey surface of earth assume as curve its use in long distance.


How many planes face in sphere?

A sphere has no plane surface. But if we consider a infinitesimal small surface of sphere then we have a plane surface and this way we have infinite planes on the sphere. Let us take the example of earth: earth is a large sphere and to human beings, so small as compared to earth, earth looks like a plane surface which is actually not reality. The same case is with the circle, circle is a closed figure which has no sides but in other way it can be considered as a polygon of infinite sides.


How the plane moves with earth when the plane is above from the earth's surface?

An airplane moves with the earth's rotation because the whole atmosphere rotates with the earth. (That's why you don't feel a 1,000 mph wind in your face when you stand on the equator.)


What is the frame of reference for a plane moving 500km?

The frame of reference for a plane moving 500 km could be the Earth's surface, the atmosphere, or the plane itself, depending on the context of the question. In most cases, the Earth's surface is used as the frame of reference for calculating distances and speeds of moving objects like planes.


Can the summation of the angles of a triangle be more than 180 degree?

Not if the triangle is in a plane. But the answer is YES for a traingle on a convex surface - such as the surface of the earth.

In geometry a plane is an flat surface?

yes, a plane is a falt surface, because infinite flat surface is a plane.


How you can form anti gravitational field on earth surface?

go into an air plane and drop and you have anti gravity


Why tyres of plane are made of conducting material?

They are made of conducting material in order to earth it from (neutralize) any excess static charges accumulated on the plane's surface.

How many plane surface does a ractangular have?

there are four plane surface in a ractangle.
