The solid rock material that directly underlies the sediments on the ocean floor is part of earths…….
Lithosphere: the solid part of earth
Oblate spheroid
When diameter of equator is larger than polar diameter, slightly bulging in the middle due to rotation of earth
What is the approximate location of the Canary Islands hot spot
32 degrees north, 18 degrees west
Gradient
Change in field value/divided by/distance
Latitude and longitude go from…..…
Latitude: north or south
Longitude: east to west
Polaris
It can only be seen in the northern hemisphere
Angle of latitude of a persons horizon to Polaris is polaris’s latitude
Time zone
Going east of prime meridian you add
Going west of prime meridian you subtract
Contour lines close and far apart
Close together it is a steep slope
Far apart it is a gentle slope
When the contour lines point one way the stream flows the
Opposite way
Measurements taken from space show earth to be
Greatest in diameter at the equator
Making Isoline
Connect equal values
If the lines stop mid map connect to the end of map
Density =
Mass divided by volume
Percent deviation/error
Original answer divided by correct answer multiplied by 100
Scientific notation
12 x 10 to the power of 2 will look like this 1,200,000,000
