1. 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. 2. The North Pole is north 90 degrees latitude and the South Pole is south 90 degrees latitude. There is no longitude for either the south or North Pole because neither one can be given a value.

Earthquakes and Subduction Zones Lab Amy Paret Mrs. Igo 9th Grade Periods 3 and 4 Even Date: 2/14/13 Background Research: This lab uses earthquake data to construct profiles of two convergent boundaries: the Tonga Trench and the Peru-Chile Trench. Where two tectonic plates converge‚ if one or both of the plates is an oceanic lithosphere‚ a subduction zone will form. When crust is formed at a mid-ocean ridge‚ it is hot and buoyant meaning it has a low density. As it spreads away from the ridge and

The whole purpose of this chapter is to clarify the pivotal need of geographic comprehension in society. Geography is divided mainly into two categories; human and physical geography. Each geography examines different kinds of information. Physical geography clarifies the physical landscapes of districts and places while human geography looks to break down the spatial circulation of humans and their cooperation’s. Chapter 1 summaries the significance of geography and how it influences all aspects

One of the most widely known tools would be the compass‚ satellite‚ longitude‚ latitude‚ etc. Although all these inventions have helped greatly in creating and developing maps‚ satellites have provided information that was incredibly accurate.

The same data is sent to the mobile at the other end from where the position of the vehicle is demanded. When the request by user is sent to the number at the GSM modem‚ the system automatically sends a return reply to that mobile indicating the position of the vehicle in terms of latitude and longitude in real time.

enough to allow for the amazing discoveries that happened during the period. The compass and astrolabe were some of the most advanced tools of the time and helped immensely with the problems they faced. A huge problem of the time was finding a ship’s longitude and the only way that they had to do it was by using the ships speed and the time that they had been traveling to calculate their distance from the point where they had set off. They used a rope with a series of knots down its length in measured
