What causes light from the sun to hit different parts of the earth at different angles?
Tilting of the Earth
What is the difference between a theodolite and a dumpy level?
In dumpy level we can check only horizontal angles whereas in theodolite we can check vertical angles also.
Why does freezing and thawing cause sediment to move down hill?
The overall process is called Solifluction. If you imagine single particle (in the soil) on a gentle slope. When the water in the soil freezes, it expands and forces the particle away from the slope at right angles to the slope. When the ice then thaws gravity will cause the particle to settle back but the movement will be in a downwards direction, not in the direction it first moved. Add this movement together, repeate season after season and the particle gradually moves down slope.
What are sun angles?

When discussing solar angles what is the factor to consider?

What causes light from the sun to hit different parts of the earth at different angles?
Tilting of the Earth
The mounting plate appears to shift up and down, but does the apparatus allow for tilting to accomodate lower viewing angles?
No, this model does not swivel or tilt, just slide.
Movement that makes joint angles larger?
Extension
What s waves move at angles to the direction of movement?
side and up/down
Why in science anticlockwise movement is so important?
It is simply a convention to measure angles that way. Otherwise, a counterclockwise movement isn't any more important than a clockwise movement.
Advantages of tilting level?
Tilting levels provide efficient and accurate surveying by measuring both horizontal and vertical angles without constant manual leveling. They save time, enhance accuracy, and are versatile, adapting well to uneven terrains. Their ease of use reduces human errors, increasing productivity and making them valuable tools in various surveying tasks.
Why are transform faults associated with spreading ridges at approximately right angles to the ridge?
They are at right angles because the spreading occurs at right angles to the ridges. If you look you will see that the faults happen at places where the ridges bend and they allow for the differential movement required.
What is the advantage of having muscles that run at different angles in the stomach?
The advantage of having muscles that run at different angles in the stomach is to help the food movement in the stomach. It helps digestive juices reach all the food, and it mix solids and liquids.
Why is a Mexican wave transverse?
The people move up and down whereas the wave travels around the stadium or arena - at right angles to the people'm movement.

What are four types of angles?
There are right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles, and straight angles.
