Why is the vertical scale often made larger than the horizontal scale in profiles of Earth?
Vertical scale is often larger in profiles of Earth to emphasize and show variations in elevation more clearly. This allows for a more detailed representation of the topography and geological features of the Earth's surface. Additionally, the magnitude of vertical changes is typically greater than horizontal changes, especially in mountainous regions, making the vertical scale more relevant and easier to interpret.
What else can I help you with?
True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
What can create a horizontal spinning column near Earth's surface eventually turning into a vertical tornado?
The horizontal rotation is caused by wind shear, differences in wind speed and direction with altitude. This can create horizontal vorticity in the air. This horizontal rotation then gets caught in the updrafts of thunderstorms in the area, which turn this rolling into vertical rotating columns within the storms. Eventually, the rotation in the storm can tighten and intensify to produce a tornado.
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.
What seismic waves travel only across the surface of the earth?
Surface waves, also known as Love waves and Rayleigh waves, travel only across the surface of the Earth. They have horizontal and vertical motion that can cause significant damage during an earthquake. These waves are slower than body waves but have larger amplitudes.
What does the grid of vertical and horizontal lines on the map represent?
The grid of vertical and horizontal lines on a map represents latitude and longitude coordinates that help in locating specific points on the map using a system of geographic coordinates. These lines intersect at regular intervals to form a grid that aids in navigation, measuring distances, and determining exact locations on Earth's surface.
Is earth axis tilted curved vertical vertical or horizontal?
Earth's axis is tilted to about 11 degrees from the vertical.
How the continents are lying on earth if they are not vertical?
I believe you are confusing "horizontal" with "vertical". "Vertical" means "from top to bottom", or "upright". "Horizontal" means "from left to right", or "lying".
What are horizontal lines on earth called?
horizontal lines represent latitude and vertical lines represent longitude
Why continents appear to be vertical are they actually vertically lying on earth if so then why we don't fall?
Not sure what you mean... They are horizontal, not vertical, meaning they lie flat on the Earth.
Is longitude horizontal?
Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.
True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
Where the vertical component of earth's magnetic field is zero?
The vertical component of Earth's magnetic field is zero at the magnetic equator, where the magnetic field lines are horizontal. At the magnetic equator, the magnetic field lines run parallel to the Earth's surface, resulting in a zero vertical component.
Does the sun go vertical and horizontal?
The sun appears to move across the sky from east to west, which is the horizontal movement due to the Earth's rotation. It reaches its highest point during midday, which is the closest it gets to a vertical position in the sky from our perspective.
Lines of latitude are horizontal or vertical?
They are parallel to the earth's equator. So if you consider the equator as being horizontal then they are horizontal.
What is the difference between vertical and horizontal stressors?
Vertical stressors are things like attitudes, labels, family secrets, and myths that are passed through the generations of a family. Horizontal stressors include things like job loss, the loss of a loved one, and moving.
Where is the midpoint located?
This depends on which midpoint is being referenced. The world's vertical midpoint is the equator which cuts the sphere of the earth in half. The world's horizontal midpoint doesn't exist since the world is a ball, however, if you look at the earth from the top the horizontal midpoint is right at the north pole. Therefore the earth's three-dimensional midpoint would be in its core. But in terms of geographic locations, the regions on the earth's horizontal midpoint are the north and south pole, while the following countries are on the earth's equator (vertical midpoint):Africa:GabonCongoDemocratic Republic of the CongoUgandaKenyaSomaliaS. America:EcuadorColumbiaBrazilIndonesia
What kind of line is a horizontal line?
A horizontal line is side-to-side like the horizon of the Earth: _______________________________________________________ ...not vertical, which is up and down: l l l l l l l l
