Geometry is typically the second math course taken by high school students. Major topics discussed include introductory logic; coordinate geometry; congruence‚ similarity and proof; right triangle trigonometry; transformations; locus; constructions; circles; and three-dimensional objects. Students will garner reasoning skills and learn how to form logical and coherent arguments. This course is aligned with the Common Core Learning Standards and integrates the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice

Tibet’s specific geographic and climatic conditions–its altitude‚ short growing season‚ and cold weather–have encouraged reliance on pastoralism‚ as well as the development of a different cuisine from surrounding regions.

tell you a little bit about skydiving and a few of its variations. Skydiving is a recreational and competitive sport in which a person exits an aircraft‚ free falls‚ then parachutes the remaining descent to the ground. Exit is usually made at an altitude between 3‚000 to 13‚000 feet. Free fall lasts for up to 1 minute. Depending on the orientation of the body during free fall‚ the jumper will reach terminal velocity at speeds of 120 to 220 mph. Many people view skydiving as a highly dangerous sport

The Predator UAV is a medium-altitude‚ long-range aircraft that operates much like any other small plane. A Rotax 914‚ four-cylinder‚ four-stroke‚ 101-horsepower engine‚ the same engine type commonly used on snowmobiles‚ turns the main drive shaft. The drive shaft rotates the Predator’s two-blade‚ variable-pitch pusher propeller. The rear-mounted propeller provides both drive and lift. The remote pilot can alter the pitch of the blades to increase or decrease the altitude of the plane and reach speeds

diverse range of different habitats and conditions. While the Red Maple will thrive in woodlands‚ this tree can be found in higher altitudes where it is dry and rocky. Also‚ it is common to find them growing in low lying areas where the water does not drain that well‚ or wetlands. They have a great ability to adapt to different types of soils‚ levels of moisture and altitudes. This is why Red Maples are found all over Eastern North America and are the most abundant and widespread deciduous tree in New

This trek gives you an wide chance to hone your mountain climbing skills across extreme altitudes. It is highly recommended as a first 8‚000m peak; convenient stepping-stone to an attempt on the Everest. The mountain lies in the Himalayas and is 20 km west of Mount Everest; at the border between China and Nepal. The Friendship highway is the

barriers (such as mountains). All the precipitation we have in the Himalayan region is because of the Orographic ascent of air masses‚ rich in moisture content because of their long travel over oceans. The moist air masses get lifted up to higher altitude due to the pressure of mountain barrier and consequently undergo cooling‚ condensation and precipitation. Such a precipitation is known as orographic precipitation. In mountains ranges the windward slopes

Describe how atmospheric circulation gives rise to the formation of high and low pressure area? The origins of the creation of areas of differing pressures can be seen to start with the sun. As the sun gives off radiation some is absorbed by the earth‚ however this absorption is centred on the equator and therefore creates a disparity between the heat of the equator and tropics and the rest of the globe. Between 450 North and 300 South there is a positive heat budget whereas outside these regions
