What else can I help you with?
What color is shown the most on a globe of the world and why?
blue because it is all you can see when you look at a map
Which layer of the earth is nearest to the surface?
the earths crust is the nearest to the surface
Where is groundwater closest to earth surface in stream valleys?
Groundwater is typically closest to the Earth's surface in stream valleys due to the topography and geology of these areas. Water from streams can infiltrate into the ground, recharging the groundwater system and bringing it closer to the surface in these valley locations. This proximity to the surface in stream valleys makes them important areas for groundwater recharge and interactions between surface water and groundwater.
What percentage of the Earth's surface is mountainous?
Roughly 27% of the Earth's surface is considered mountainous. This includes areas such as the Himalayas, the Alps, and the Andes.
How does surface area affect weathering?
Surface area affects weathering by providing more contact between the rock and agents of weathering such as water, wind, and temperature changes. A greater surface area allows for increased chemical and physical breakdown of the rock, leading to faster weathering processes. Rocks with larger surface areas will typically weather more quickly than those with smaller surface areas.
Explain why maps are more useful than globes for studying small areas on the surface of earth?
There are many pros and cons to maps and globes. Globes are the most accurate way to represent the earth. If your using a map it depends on what kind of map projection you are using. Some of the three most common map projections are : Conic:............fartic:.............. Flat plane:.................................... Cylindrical: Pro: Great for.............. pro: Great for....................... Pro: Great for navigators showing long areas....... showing true direction...

What happens to the images on the globes when they transferred to a flat surface?
They become distorted since the globe is not flat. Areas away from the equator get represented as much bigger than they really are relative to areas at the equator.
How do maps and globes represent earth surface?
Raised areas that represent moutains and/or plains, and the representations of the different Coastlines surrounding each continent .
What are the best outdoor light globes for illuminating a patio or garden space?
The best outdoor light globes for illuminating a patio or garden space are typically LED light globes. They are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and provide bright and even lighting for outdoor areas.
What is an advantage of trawling?
One advantage of trawling is that it can cover large areas of the ocean floor quickly and efficiently, making it useful for studying marine ecosystems and collecting data on fish populations.
Are there areas where statistics is not useful?
No
What problem do maps have that globes do not?
Maps that are projected on a plane surface will exhibit distortions in distance, area and direction which might be neglible over a small area such as a town or city, but can be substantial over larger areas. Cartographers compensate for these distortions in a number of ways, but usually one type of distortion is sacrificed to create accuracy in another dimension. Globes do not exhibit these distortions, but nearly all globes are made perfectly spherical which, in itself, introduces a slight distortion since Earth is a bit flattened at the poles.
Why are maps more informative than globes?
Maps are typically more informative than globes because they can display larger areas in greater detail. Maps can show specific information such as roads, cities, and topographical features more clearly than globes, which can sometimes distort the shapes of land masses and distances. Additionally, maps can be updated more easily with current information than globes can.
Do The surface areas of the ocean have abundant nutrients?
The surface areas of the ocean have abundant nutrients.
Why polar satellites are used?
Their orbits (and the rotation of the earth) will eventually bring them over every point on the earth's surface. This is useful for "spying", certain weather observations, etc. Other orbits will always miss large areas of the surface.
What is the effect on coefficient of static friction when side length of a cube of 5 cm is doubled to original?
The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.
Differentiate the surface water areas and surface land areas within the Philippine territorial limits?
The surface water areas of the Philippines covers a larger space than those of the surface land areas. This is possible because 3/4 of the Earth is covered by water.
