What direction is east on a compass?

On a sunny day, stick a decently tall object into the ground, perpendicular to the ground. Mark the top of its shadow. Wait some period of time (15 minutes might work) and mark the top of its shadow again. Draw a line from the first point toward the second point. That direction is (approximately) east.


Changed plug wires and distributer cap roter now back fire 1998 Chevy blazer?

Recheck the spark plug wires. Make sure they are on right. Also make sure when you installed the rotor and cap that they are on correctly also. Some times the distributor cap can be installed 180 degrees wrong direction. The rotor usually only goes on one way, but check it anyway. Always mark the cap and rotor for just this reason. I hope you find it.


Do hatched and cross-hatched lines define value and texture in a work of art?

Cross hatching can be used as a tool to produce value when used correctly. The concept is that the more lines are overlapped over each other the darker the area is, and so a gradient can be achieved. Texture is not as dependent on cross hatching and more dependent on the type of mark making is being used.


What is tailors pencil?

Tailor's chalk is a type of chalk which is designed to make temporary markings on cloth. Using tailor's chalk, a seamstress can make markings where fabric needs to be cut or garments need to be altered, and the chalk can also be used to mark out cutting, hemming, and darting lines on garments as they are constructed. Once the markings are no longer useful, they can be easily brushed off or washed out, leaving no residue behind.

Do latitude lines align the poles?

Yes, but they only go up to the 90 degrees mark. On the other hand, the longitude line spreads out further to the 180 degrees mark.


What is the vertical lines around the globe also called?

The lines printed on some globes and some maps have no names, any more thanthe lines on rulers and tape measures have. They're all used to show the positionof a few even multiples of some units of measurement.The lines on a tape measure mark off multiples of inches, feet, meters, or yards.The lines on a measuring cup mark off multiples of ounces or liters.The lines on maps and globes mark off multiples of angle degrees. The anglesrepresent longitudes if they're marked off in the east/west direction, and latitudeif they're marked off in the north/south direction. Longitudes and latitudes aremeasurements of angles that describe the location of places on the Earth.

What two imaginary lines mark the tropical climate regions?

The two imaginary lines that mark the tropical climate regions are the Tropic of Cancer, located at approximately 23.5 degrees north of the equator, and the Tropic of Capricorn, located at approximately 23.5 degrees south of the equator. These lines define the boundaries of the tropical zone where the sun is directly overhead at least once a year.


What two lines mark zero degrees on the globe in which directions do the lines run?

The Equator is the line of zero latitude, and runs west to east horizontally round the middle of the Earth. The Prime Meridian is the line of zero longitude, and runs vertically from the North Pole to The South Pole, passing through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.


How many lines of longitude in a hemisphere?

The northern and southern hemispheres each have 360 degrees of longitude. The eastern and western hemispheres each have 180 degrees of longitude. You can use as many or as few 'lines' as you want, to mark off any number of degrees.


What is 30 degrees north and 70 degrees east?

If you look at a compass, it points north. Each mark is one degree, and there are 360 on a compass, so 30 degrees east of north means that you head towards the thirtieth park to the east (right) of north. On a watch, if 12 o'clock is north, then 1 o'clock is thirty degrees east of it.

How do you find unknown angles of a trapezoid?

First identify the two lines that are parallel. Call these the top and bottom lines. Mark the two corners on the left A and B. Then angle A + angle B = 180 degrees. Next, mark the two corners on the right C and D. Angle C + angle D = 180 degrees. Hope this helps :)
