What are long sand ridges oriented at right angles to the wind?

Transverse dunes are long sand ridges that are oriented at right angles to the prevailing wind direction. They form when wind blows sand over a stationary object, like a plant or rock, causing the sand to accumulate into a ridge perpendicular to the wind direction.


What kind of map is a rectangular representation of Earth that shows accurate directions but distorts sizes and distances?

A rectangular representation of Earth that shows accurate directions but distorts sizes and distances is called a Mercator projection map. This distortion occurs because it preserves angles and lines of constant direction, commonly used for navigation over large bodies of water.


How are cracks in rocks at right angles to the surface?

Cracks in rocks at right angles to the surface are typically the result of tensile stresses acting on the rock. These stresses can be caused by factors such as cooling and contraction, unloading and expansion, or tectonic forces. As the rock experiences these stresses, cracks form perpendicular to the direction of the stress, resulting in fractures that are often at right angles to the surface.


What has particles that vibrates at right angles to the direction of the wave?

Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves. . When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.


How does the cleavage of feldspar differ from the cleavage of mica?

Biotite (black mica) and muscovite (white mica) are both minerals that have perfect basal cleavage--one direction. It cleaves into thin sheets. Feldspars (albite, oligoclase, andesine, labradorite, bytownite, anorthite) have good cleavage in two directions at nearly right angles, poor in a third direction.

What characterizes constant velocity motion on a position time graph?

A straight line with a constant slope. But the reverse is not true. A straight line with a constant slope only means constant speed in the radial direction. The velocity may have components at right angles to the radial direction that are changing.


What are negative quadrant angles?

using protactor, we use to draw angles in anticlockwise direction and that angles are called positive quadrant angles. and angles in clockwise direction, these angles are called negative quadrant angles.


Is it possible for an object to have an acceleration when the speed of the object is constant?

Yes, if apply at the right angles the acceleration can change the object's current direction without effecting its speed.


What kind of angles are congruent angles formed by intersecting lines?

congruent angles are simply two angles that are identical in degrees although they may not necessarily be pointing the same direction
