What else can I help you with?
What do you call the vertical and horizontal movement of the Earth's crust that produces mountains?
The vertical and horizontal movement of the Earth's crust that produces mountains is called tectonic activity, specifically associated with the processes of plate tectonics. This includes processes such as folding, faulting, and volcanic activity, which can result in the uplift and formation of mountain ranges over geological time scales.
What do longitude lines cover that latitude lines don't?
The longitude lines cover the vertical side of the earth and the latitude lines cover the horizontal side. This gives you map coordination's.
What is the name of horizontal lines on a map?
The horizontal lines on a map are called latitude lines. They measure the distance north or south of the equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude. These lines are used in conjunction with vertical lines, known as longitude lines, to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface.
What does horizontal mean in kids words?
Horizontal means something that is flat and goes side to side, like when you lie down on a bed or when you draw a straight line from left to right. It’s the opposite of vertical, which goes up and down. Think of the way a horizon looks on the ground where the sky meets the earth!
What is a vertical or horizontal line used in map graphs called?
In map graphs, a vertical line is typically called a "longitude" line, while a horizontal line is referred to as a "latitude" line. Longitude lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian. Latitude lines run parallel to the Equator and measure distances north and south of it. Together, these lines create a grid that helps in pinpointing locations on the Earth's surface.
How the continents are lying on earth if they are not vertical?
I believe you are confusing "horizontal" with "vertical". "Vertical" means "from top to bottom", or "upright". "Horizontal" means "from left to right", or "lying".
Has the earth tilted over?
The Earth has always been 'tilted'. The planet is tilted by about 11 degrees from the vertical. The tilt helps to create the seasons - and is responsible for the varying length of day & night.
What are horizontal lines on earth called?
horizontal lines represent latitude and vertical lines represent longitude
What causes a ball to follow a curved path when you throw it?
When you throwa balland give it aforwardmotion, Gravity pulls the ball towards thecenter of earth. The ball has two motions ... horizontal (forward) and a downwardmotion. The horizontal speed is constant, or at least nearly constant, but thedownward speed is constantly growing because of the downward gravitational forceon the ball. A constant horizontal speed together with vertical acceleration is a surerecipe for a curved path.
Where is the vertical plane in earth?
A vertical plane is any plane where the normal (a line at 90 degrees to the plane) is horizontal. All your walls are vertical planes. The normal to the plane of the Earth's orbit is often used to define "up" and "down" for planet Earth. The Earth's axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees away from this "vertical" line. Also you could define "vertical" as simply the direction shown by a plumb line. That's the definition which has walls as vertical planes. With either definition there will be more than one plane that is a vertical plane.
Why continents appear to be vertical are they actually vertically lying on earth if so then why we don't fall?
Not sure what you mean... They are horizontal, not vertical, meaning they lie flat on the Earth.
The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are independent of each other what does this statement mean?
That means the if you change one you do not necessarily change the other. In the case of the projectile the vertical component is dependent on time (if it is a projectile near a large mass like the earth) gravity acts on it accelerating the projectile in a downward direction. The horizontal component remains the same during the entire flight (if we disregard air resistance and such things).
Is longitude horizontal?
Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.
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.
Which plant has Axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 90 degrees from the vertical?
Vertical???? You might be thinking of Uranus which has an axial tilt of 97.7° to the orbital plane (the Earth's axial tilt is 23.44°)
The earth is tilted at an angle of?
If you are talking about the Earth than it is 23.5 degrees on its tilt.
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.
