An area of sea which is a major indent in a coastline. The Gulf of Mexico & the Gulf of Carpentaria are good examples. While not as large as a Sea in its own right, a Gulf is a major maritime feature.I did not get it.Locate the Gulf of Mexico on your map. Now, write a definition of a gulf? what is the answer? please help me. It is a major indent in a coastline, an area of coast which is not straight but is indented by the sea in that the sea is formed into a semi circular shape because of the shape of the coastline. If you look at the Gulf of Mexico, South from the USA in Central America, then you will see thait it is a particular shape, it is the shape of the area of sea, as formed by the land which is defined as a Gulf.
Distance through the earth at the equator?
Actually the answer given was not applicable to the question. The speed of rotation at Earth's axis depends on a number of factors, only partially touched by the previous answer. The Earth yields an equatorial speed of 465.1 m/s, 1,674.4 km/h or 1,040.4 mph. Some sources state that Earth's equatorial speed is slightly less, or 1,669.8 km/h. This is obtained by dividing Earth's equatorial circumference by 24 hours. However, the use of only one circumference unwittingly implies only one rotation in inertial space, so the corresponding time unit must be a sidereal hour.
What is the total amount of rainfall on the earth in 2007?
This will likely not be entirely exact, but it should be a rough estimate.
I'm going to assume that the average annual rainfall for Earth is 80 cm, or 8 E -4 km. The surface area of the earth is 5.1 E 8 sq. km. Simple multiply the two together and get 4.1 E 5 cubic km, or 4.1 E 17 liters (410,000,000,000,000,000 liters), which should be somewhat close to the total amount of rainfall on Earth in 2007.
Where is most fresh water found on the Earth?
Most freshwater on Earth is found in glaciers and ice caps, with around 68.7% of the world's freshwater stored there. Other significant sources of freshwater include groundwater (30.1%) and surface water in lakes, rivers, and wetlands (less than 1%).
Which states would you fly over on a straight-line trip from eastern Montana to western Texas?
Depending on your location in each of the two states, you would fly over Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. These three states are on a straight line from far eastern Montana to far western Texas.
If you were not flying directly to far western Texas, you might fly over South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma rather than New Mexico.

What gulf separates Baja California from the rest of Mexico?
The Gulf of California, also known as Sea of Cortes or Mar de Cortez (as known in Mexico), is the body of water that separates Baja California Peninsula from the Mexican mainland. It has a coastline of about 4,000 Kilometers (2,500 miles) and has an approximate area of 160,000 square Kilometers (62,000 sq mi). There are many rivers that flow into the sea, including the Colorado, Sinaloa and Yaqui rivers. Some coastal cities around the sea include La Paz (189,176), Los Cabos (164,162) or Guaymas (134,153). The region is also known to be rich in biodiversity, and an important commercial fishery, where many shrimp and sardine fleets from the city of Mazatlan exploit the local species.

How much of your body is made up of water?

Bergs classification for river speed?
Bergs classification is a method used to categorize the speed of river currents based on their velocity, with Class I being slow-moving water with minimal obstacles, like a calm stream, and Class VI representing extremely fast and turbulent rushing water that is considered dangerous and only suitable for expert paddlers. The classification system helps paddlers and other water sports enthusiasts gauge the difficulty and potential hazards of navigating a particular river section.
