What is the name for the longitudinal line that runs at 0 degrees?
The equator.
What are vertical grooves called?
Vertical grooves are called "striations."
What do we call the imaginary line that circles the Earth's middle?
The horizontal line that goes around the "waist" of the Earth is the Equator. The vertical line that goes vertically around the Earth, through the poles, is the Prime Meridian.
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.
How does the Sun's vertical ray change from the Winter Solstice to the Summer Solstice?
The vertical rays appear to move from the Tropic of Capricorn, across the Equator, to the Tropic of Cancer.
What is the name for the longitudinal line that runs at 0 degrees?
The equator.
Where on Earth will a dip needle point most in a vertical position?
equator
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.
The troposphere is most likely to be thickest?
near the equator, where the warmer temperatures lead to greater vertical expansion of the air.
Why is it hottter on the equator?
Suns rays are more vertical, hence stronger in their effect.
What are vertical grooves called?
Vertical grooves are called "striations."
What do we call the imaginary line that circles the Earth's middle?
The horizontal line that goes around the "waist" of the Earth is the Equator. The vertical line that goes vertically around the Earth, through the poles, is the Prime Meridian.
The vertical ray of the sun strikes the earth where?
The vertical ray of the sun strikes the Earth directly at the equator. This phenomenon occurs during the equinoxes when the sun is directly above the equator, causing equal day and night lengths at all locations on Earth.
The farthest south the vertical rays of the sun ever reach south of the equator occurs around which date?
The farthest south that the vertical rays of the sun reach south of the equator occurs around December 21st each year, which is the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. This marks the beginning of summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is a vertical poem called?
Vertical poems are called acrostic poetry.
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 half the globe called?
EQUATOR.EQUATOR. EQUATOR. EQUATOR. EQUATOR. EQUATOR.EQUATOR.
