How far will a horizontal line depart from the earths surface in 2 km solve using curvature?
To calculate the distance a horizontal line will depart from the Earth's surface due to its curvature, you can use the formula:
d = R(1 - cos(Θ))
Where:
- d is the departure from the surface
- R is the radius of the Earth
- Θ is the angle subtended at the center of the Earth
Given a radius of Earth of approximately 6371 km, and a distance of 2 km, the departure would be approximately 0.00063 km or 0.63 meters.

There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.

What is the angular distance of the horizon below the plane of observation caused by the curvature of the earths surface called?
The angular distance of the horizon below the plane of observation caused by the curvature of the Earth's surface is called the dip angle.
Can you see Madagascar from Mauritius?
No, it is too far away and hidden by the curvature of the Earths surface, you can not even see the neighboring Islands of Rodriguez or Reunion.
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.

Why can waves with very low frequency follow the earths surface?
Waves with very low frequencies can follow the earth's surface due to a phenomenon known as ground wave propagation. These waves propagate along the surface, interacting with the terrain and following the curvature of the earth. This allows for long-distance communication at low frequencies.
