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.
Moving information from a curved surface to a flat surface causes?
When information is moved from a curved surface( like the Earth) to a flat surface ( like a map), distortion occurs.
A soccer ball is kicked at a 45 degree angle at the top of its path is its acceleration entirely horizontal or vertical or a combination of both?
At the top of it path or anywhere else the Earth's gravity accelerates the ball downward. Regardless what the horizontal mothion is (disregarding air resistance), there are no accelerations after the kick. A ball kicked straight up to the same height will hit the ground at the same time as a ball kicked at 45 degrees.
What does horizontal mean?
Horizontal means going left and right. This is the opposite of vertical, which means going up and down. Example: This sentence is written horizontally. It might help to know that the horizon is the farthest limit of the earth that can be seen from a given point. When you are at a beach looking out over the ocean or another body of water where you cannot see land in the distance, the line where the sky meets the water is called the horizon.
How are the lines of latitude and longitude used to locate points on Earth's surface?
The lines of latitude provide vertical (north-south) coordinates on a map or globe. Lines of longitude provide horizontal (east-west) coordinates. The defined geographical point is where the latitude line intersects the longitude line.
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.
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".
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?
There is no specific vertical plane on Earth as it is a 3-dimensional sphere. However, if you are referring to the vertical plane passing through the poles, it would intersect the surface at the North and South Poles.
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?
This statement means that the horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile do not affect each other. The horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the motion, while the vertical velocity is influenced by gravity, causing the projectile to follow a curved path.
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.
Does Neptune rotate vertically or horizontally?
Neptune rotates horizontally on its axis, like most other planets in our solar system. Its axis is tilted at about 28.32 degrees relative to the plane of its orbit around the Sun, causing it to have seasons similar to Earth.
