They are sometimes called "parallels of latitude", or just "latitude lines". The east-west lines on the map measure the latitude in degrees north or south of the equator.
What else can I help you with?
The outermost layer of the earth is called the mantle?
No. The outermost layer of the Earth is called the crust.
What is the force that makes the earth move?
If an object is moving initially, then no force is needed to keep it moving.The earth formed out of clouds of material that revolved around the young sun shortly after its birth.Since the earth was in motion as it formed, and there's nothing to stop it, it continues in motion.It's true that a force is required to CHANGE the speed or direction of an object's motion. The earth's directionof motion is constantly changing ... and it winds up traveling a path around the sun that's very nearly circular.The force that accomplishes that constant 'bending' of the earth's motion is the force of gravitation that drawsthe earth and sun toward each other.
A deep trench in the earth is called?
subduction
What part of a force does work when the direction of the force and the direction of motion are not the same?
Force only takes place in the direction of the motion. It cannot be any other way. It could be argued that the action of a cars tyres on the road applies to your question. The car moves forward while the tyres push the earth in the opposite direction. However the tyres are the motion supplying the force and not the car moving in the opposite direction..
What direction of the gravitational force and centripetal force on a satellite?
The gravitational force on a satellite is towards the center of the Earth. The gravitational force IS the centripetal force is this case, so the centripetal force pulls the satellite towards the center of the Earth. There is no balancing force that pulls the satellite outwards (if there were, it wouldn't accelerate, i.e., change direction).
What are the imaginary lnes that run east to west around earth called?
The imaginary lines that run around the earth in an east-west direction are lines of latitude or parallels.
The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the Earth's rotation is called the .?
The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the Earth's rotation is called the?
What direction does the planet revolve around the sun?
The same direction that the Earth rotates around its axis.
The direction of the Moon revolution around the Earth is?
The direction of the moon revolution around the earth is from left to right. This is also known as anticlockwise motion.
Which direction does the earth travel around the moon?
It doesn't ! The moon travels around the earth !
When the earth ocassionally reverses direction is called what motion?
The earth never reverses direction, nor does any other planet. The APPARENT reversal of direction of some other planets, as seen from earth, is called retrograde motion.
Which direction is earth revolving around the sun?
CounterClockwise
Which way does the moon revolve?
The moon revolves around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction. This motion is called orbital motion, and it takes about 27.3 days for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth.
What is the direction of Earth's revolution around the Sun?

What is the direction of revolution of earth around the sun?

What os the earth's path around the sun called?
Earth's path around the Sun is called Earth's Orbit.
