I'm assuming that you are talking about the velocity at the equator.

The equator is approx. 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km)

It takes 23 hours 56 minutes and 04.09053 seconds for one revolution.

Therefore if you were stationary, and the earth moved beneath you, there would be

24,901.55 miles of earth moving under your feet every 23 hours 56 minutes, and 4.09053 seconds.

24,901.55 mi / 86164.09053s which is 0.289001484mi/s

Translate that into mi/h and you have approx: 1040.405 mi/h

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 are particles of the medium move both parallel and perpendicular to the wave motion?

Surface waves are where particles of the medium move both parallel and perpendicular to wave motion. This movement creates a circular motion pattern. An example of a surface wave is water waves on the surface of a pond.


Motion perpendicular to earth's surface is what kind of motion?

Motion Perpendicular to the ground is called horizontal motion.


What is motion perpendicular to the ground?

Vertical motion is the motion that is perpendicular to the ground.

Butt face


What describes the motion of the media for a surface wave?

Surface waves involve both longitudinal and transverse motion of the particles in the medium. This means the particles move both up and down, as well as back and forth, in a circular or elliptical motion. The motion of the particles is more complex compared to simple longitudinal or transverse waves.

Are blizzards used as a evidence the the earths surface consist of plates that are in continuous motion?

No. Blizzards have nothing to do with plate tectonics.


How does the direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit compare with the curve of earth's surface?

The direction of motion of a satellite in a circular orbit is perpendicular to the curved surface of the Earth. This means that the satellite moves parallel to the surface at a constant distance rather than following the curve of the Earth.
