Isotherms connect points of equal temperature on a weather map. The lines of isotherms naturally run parallel to each other. Their spacing indicates temperature variance.

Why is it important remember?

Remembering is crucial as it shapes our identity, influences our decision-making, and helps us learn from past experiences. It allows us to retain knowledge, build relationships, and navigate the world effectively. Additionally, memory plays a key role in cultural continuity, enabling us to pass down traditions and values across generations. Overall, remembering connects us to our personal and collective histories.


How many swamps are in America?

By "in America", that would mean Canada, United States, and South America. If you mean only in the US, there are vast areas of swamps in the south-eastern States. But as well, wetlands exist in many States across the US. They would be too numerous to count.


How many people in the US use solar energy?

60 percent Generally, people in the states that get most sunshine (Southwest, Great Plains, California) use the most solar energy resources.


When incident angle is equal to critical angle then angle of refraction will be what?

When the angle of incidence equals the critical angle, there is no refraction wave as we usually understand it. The result is a surface wave. Let us suppose we are asking about light incident on a flat interface between to mediums which are transparent (nonabsorbing). The formula for the angle of refraction says the angle of refraction approaches 90 degrees, so the direction the wave would be traveling would be parallel to the interface. The same formulas in electromagnetic theory will also predict that the energy transmitted across the surface decreases to zero as the angle of incidence increases towards the critical angle. That is the equivalent to the more common statement that there is total internal refection. Advanced mathematical treatments of this topic show that the electromagnetic field does exist on the transmission side of the interface and that energy is flowing parallel to the interface in that region. That is the surface wave. The energy in the surface wave decays exponentially with distance from the interface into the transmission region.


How are we able to see things around us?

Visible light from the Sun is refracted as it enters our eyes as parallel light rays. The light rays are converged to a point on our retina by the lens in our eyes. The inverted image produced is then sent chemically to the brain via the optic nerve where it is interpreted by our brains as a virtual image (the image that we see)

How are isobars and isotherms alike?

Oh, dude, isobars and isotherms are like distant cousins at a family reunion - they both deal with mapping out the weather, but in slightly different ways. Isobars connect points of equal atmospheric pressure, while isotherms link points of equal temperature. So, like, they're both about drawing lines on maps, just with different weather-related vibes.


What are the lines on a world isothermal map called?

An isotherm is a line along which the temperature is constant.An isothermal map is useful since it shows us where temperatures are similar and where they are different. This is the type of map that we think about when we think about temperatures across the United States from the nightly weather report or the back of USA Today.Found it here: http://www.ux1.eiu.edu/~jpstimac/1400/chapter3.html

A trapezium (US: trapezoid).


What quadrilateral has opposite sides that are not parallel?

A trapezium (US) has no sides parallel, while a trapezoid has one set of unequal parallel sides.


Is Appalachian a mountain parallel to the east coast or the west coast of US?

Since parts of the east and west coasts of the US are roughly parallel, something parallel to one of them would be parallel to the other. The Appalachians are closer to the east coast than the west.


Where was korea divided after world war 2?

After the defeat of Japan in 1945, the 38th parallel was chosen to divide the Korean peninsula into two US and Soviet occupied zones. The line dividing North and South Korea is still often referred to as the 38th parallel, but the border is no longer parallel to the equator and rather runs diagonally across the peninsula.
