A depressed area in the surface of the Earth is commonly referred to as a "basin." Basins can vary in size and may be formed through geological processes such as erosion or tectonic activity. They often collect water, leading to features like lakes or river valleys. In a broader context, the term "depression" can also be used to describe such areas.

How does earthquakes originate?

how do earquakes originate. they are caused by tectonic plates shifting beneath the surface of the earth. the movement causes part of the surface to shake which we call earthquakes.


How do you work out the area of the prism?

The prism is a three dimensional object. 3-D objects do not just have area. They have something call surface area, which is the amount of around on the surface of the object. 3-D objects also have volume. Volume is the amount of space inside the object. You can not work out the surface area of volume of just a prism. There are many many prisms out there. Prisms have many shapes and sizes.


What do you call the surface covered by a two dimensional shape?

The surface covered by a two-dimensional shape is referred to as its "area." Area measures the extent of a shape's surface in square units, providing a quantitative representation of the space it occupies. Different shapes have specific formulas to calculate their area, such as length times width for rectangles or π times radius squared for circles.


How do you find the surface area of an ellipse?

An ellipse is a two dimensional shape, so it does not have a "surface area", only an "area". Any ellipse has two radii, the major one and the minor one. We'll call them R1 and R2. The area of the ellipse then can be calculated with the function: a = πR1R2 You will notice that this is the same equation as the area for a circle. The circle is a special case though, because it is an ellipse in which both axes are the same length. In that case, R1 equals R2, so we can simply call it r and say: a = πr2
