questions that relate to people interacting with earth‚ which are asked by geographers. • Latitude: Latitude lines are imaginary lines on the earth’s surface that run east and west around the globe and tell you your distance north or south of the Equator. • Longitude: Longitude lines are imaginary lines on the earth’s surface that run from pole to pole around the globe and tell you your distance east or west from the Prime Meridian. • Compass Rose: A symbol on a map used to display the orientation

Mitosis: During meiosis I‚ tetrads form‚ and crossing-over occurs during prophase I. This event does not occur during mitosis. During metaphase I of meiosis‚ tetrads align at the spindle equator. The paired chromosomes have a total of four chromatids each. During metaphase in mitosis‚ dyads align at the spindle equator. During the anaphase I of meiosis‚ the homologous chromosomes of each tetrad separate‚ and dyads move to opposite poles. During anaphase of mitosis‚ sister chromatids separate‚ becoming

temperate grassland‚ coniferous forest‚ temperate broadleaf forest‚ and tundra. The tropical forest can be separated into two categories; tropical rainforest and tropical dry forest. Both‚ tropical rainforest and tropical dry forest are found near the equator. The tropical rainforest is generally characterized by poor soil‚ high rainfall‚ and a high diversity of plants and animals. The tropical dry forest undergoes an annual dry season. Though‚ the average rainfall is adequate enough to enable growth of

Just how different and similar can the Brazilian and American cultures be? Brazil is located below the equator in South America‚ on the other hand‚ The United States of America is located above the equator in North America. Because of the difference in location‚ Brazil speaks Portuguese derived from Latin roots while Americans speak English derived from Germanic roots. Both cultures place emphasis in family. The American culture sees family as less important than a career. Americans have their twenty-four

Stacy Servoss Ms. Hines Eng. 090-D01 15 July‚ 2013 The Effects the Moon Has On the Ocean Tide The moon’s gravity affects tides on the earth. The sun and moon together pull on the earth’s oceans in different directions to create tides. But there are several other factors that complicate this process. Friction is the earth’s rotation and axis tilt on the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth. This forces push on the earth’s atmosphere‚ creating high tides and low tides. The gravity

NOTES: The word is divided into 6 climate zones. These zones depend on several factors. The first is temperature; if a country lies near the equator it tends to be hot; but if it’s near the poles it tends to be colder. A country can also have a cold climate if it’s very mountainous with most of its land sitting well above sea level. Wind direction can also influence climate. If winds are being blow from a hot area they will raise temperatures‚ the opposite is also true. If winds have been blown

Gravity varies with latitude. A person weighs .5% more when they are closer to the North and South poles‚ compared to standing by the equator. The earth is not completely rounded and is actually more of a “squashed” sphere; therefore‚ this causes the radiuses of the equator and the poles to be slightly different. The gravitational acceleration is 9.78 m/s2 at the equator and 9.83 m/s2 at the north and south poles (Masters‚ 2002). These different gravitational accelerations is also known as centripetal

------------------------------------------------- Rock (geology) In geology‚ a rock is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids. For example‚ the common rock‚ granite‚ is a combination of the quartz‚ feldspar and biotite minerals. The Earth’s outer solid layer‚ the lithosphere‚ is made of rock. Rocks have been used by mankind throughout history. From the Stone Age rocks have been used for tools. The minerals and metals we find in rocks have been essential to
