5. What is a geographic coordinate system, and why is it a poor choice for creating maps?…
GPS are system of satellites, computers, and receivers that can indicate the position of a receiver in relation to the latitude and longitude of a receiver on Earth.…
* Lines of latitude run east to west for the purpose of measuring distances north and south of the equator…
A projected coordinate system provides various mechanisms to project maps of the earth's spherical surface onto a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate plane. Projected coordinate systems are referred to as map projections…
(6 points) |Ideas and examples are used correctly, but not all of them are fully developed.…
2. Latitude: line on a map or globe measure distance north and south of Equator.…
Longitude – The angle between the Prime meridian (Greenwich), the centre of the Earth and your position. Measure in degrees East and West.…
12. Latitudes are the angular distance of a point on the earth that are north and south of the equator and run east and west. Parallels are the lines that connect this points running east and west and divide up the earth into equal parts. These lines help show the different climate regions of the earth. The further away from the equator you get, north and south, the colder the climate. Longitude is the angular distance of a point on the earth that is east or west from the prime meridian and runs north and south. A meridian is the line running north and south and the go from the North Pole to the South Pole. These lines converge on the poles.…
Latitude is measured as the angle between a line from earth's center to the measurement point. Specifies north south position.…
Chris McCandless was a caring man who lived a short, extraordinary life full of more adventure than most people experience in their lifetime. In his early years, Chris greatly excelled at running in high school and maintained a high GPA in college at Emory University in Georgia. After mailing his final transcript to his family, Chris embarked on a new journey and created a whole new identity for himself. “No longer would he answer to Chris McCandless; he was now Alexander Supertramp, master of his own destiny.” (Krakauer 23)…
In the book The Catcher in the rye by JD Salinger, the main character Holden Caulfield tells readers how he hates phoniness, but Holden isn’t immune to phoniness him self. Holden lied to Mrs. Morrow, waiters in nightclubs, and he lied to his old friend Luce from Whooton School. As Holden grows up he realizes he does not practice what he preaches.…
As you know, every point on Earth can be identified by latitude and longitude. In this lesson, you studied how to read points on a map in degrees, minutes, and seconds of latitude and longitude. For example, the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington, is located at approximately 47° 37' 14'' N, 122° 20' 57'' W.…
In engineering in particular, it is used to relate position, velocity and acceleration etc. Electrical engineers apply the principles of calculus to determine the length of electrical wire needed to hang wire in a curved, catenary pattern between two hydro towers. When roads are constructed, particularly any with a curve or turn, engineers must take into account the slope of the curve, it’s possible tangents and the potential speed of vehicles as they travel around the curve to ensure safe speed limits are posted and the road is built with the safest conditions in mind.…
Right ascension and also declination is just like longitude and latitude because they are all used for specific location purposes. As people on the ground use longitude and latitude to find things on earth, scientists and astronomers use right ascension and declination to find things in the sky.…
