It's calculated assuming the tapagraphy of the country is flat. Water area is included in the total for all inland bodies of water as well as some coastal estuaries, bays, sounds, waterways and etc.

Where is the intesity of the gravitational field of earth at maximum?

On the earth's surface at the poles we find gravity will be the strongest. The earth is what is called an oblate spheroid, and that means it bulges out in the middle (the equator). That also means the poles end up a little closer to the center of gravity, and you'll weigh more there.


What are the two liquids that show upper meniscus?

Mercury and water are two liquids that show an upper meniscus when measured in a graduated cylinder or other narrow container. This means that the liquid forms a concave shape at the surface where it meets the container's walls.


How are distances measured on a map?

East and west distances can be measured using longitude lines, imaginary lines that connect the Earth's poles. The distance between any two longitudes is the greatest at the equator, and zero at the poles.


What is 3.5 grams on a hand scale?

3.5 grams on a hand scale means that the weight being measured is 3.5 grams, as indicated by the scale. Make sure to calibrate the scale properly and use it on a stable surface for accurate measurements.


A student measured the mass of a small object and found it to be 56.0 grams The object's mass is known to be 55.0 grams What is the percent of error in the student's measurement?

The percent error in the student's measurement is calculated as |(measured value - actual value) / actual value| x 100. Plugging in the values, we get |(56.0g - 55.0g) / 55.0g| x 100 = 1.82%. This means the student's measurement is 1.82% higher than the actual value.

What does average speed mean in science?

It means the sum of the measured/calculated speeds divided by the number of speeds that were measured/calculated.


How did the calculated length of the displacement vector compare with the measured length of th edisplacement vector?

If the calculated length of the displacement vector matches the measured length, it means the calculations were accurate. If they differ, there may have been errors in calculations or measurements. It is important to ensure consistency between calculated and measured values to validate the accuracy of the displacement vector.


What does variable acreage mean?

That means that the surface area (measured in acres, in this case) can vary.


How is Internet access download time calculated?

It is measured in mb/s which means it calculates how many megabytes it can download in 1 second.


What is meant by pressure in terms of physics?

Pressure in physics refers to the force applied per unit area on a surface. It is measured in pascals (Pa) or atmospheres (atm) and can be calculated using the formula P = F/A, where P is pressure, F is force, and A is the surface area.

The answer is Ireland. The "Ire" rhymes with fire and the solid part of the earth's surface is the "land".


What does a negative percentage error means?

A percentage error is 100*(measurement - true value)/true valueThe percentage error is negative if the measured (or calculated) value is smaller that the true value.


What is the minimum thickness sagiita that can be measured by means of spherometer?

3/16" thick is the minimum thickness Sagiita that can be measured by means of spherometer.


How is an elevation map measured?

An elevation map is usually measured using remote sensing techniques like LiDAR or radar to capture the topography of the Earth’s surface. These methods use sensors to calculate the distance between the Earth's surface and the sensor, creating a detailed map of the elevation at various points. GPS technology can also be used to determine elevation by measuring the position of a receiver on Earth's surface in relation to known elevations elsewhere.


Finding area of a curved surface?

That can be a complicated process (although some curves are simpler than others). If the curvature can be described by an algebraic equation, then the area can be calculated by means of integral calculus. Alternatively, if you can fit simpler geometric shapes (such as squares and triangles) into the curved surface in a way that approximately fills that surface, you can use simpler means to calculate the area.
