Equator

800 years for the Sun to complete this full, 360-degree backward rotation through the constellations. This path, which is sometimes referred to as the “Galactic Equator”, cannot be drawn in a precise manner because it changes depending on the clarity of the viewer. The ancient Mayans would not have had a clear enough view of this equator in order to study it. Furthermore, historians have found that there is no evidence that ancient Mayans were aware of the equinox’s precession. There is also…

The blue whale is the largest animal in the world weighing in at 180 tonnes and an average of 30m in length. The blue whale is part of the Chordata phylum as it body possesses a notochord, an endostyle, pharyngeal slits and a post anal tail. The blue whales body is a blue-greyish colour on the top and on its underbelly it is somewhat lighter. The blue whale has a long and tapering body that is muscular when compared with other whales. Its head it a flat U-shape and has a ridge that runs from the…

these best explains whyLas Vegas has an arid environment? Use complete sentences, and justify your answer for part 2 of the question The three climate controls for deserts are ;atitude or the angular distance of a locale north or south of the earths equator , contientatlity or the distance from a maritmime, and rain shadow or the area of dryness being on the lee side of a mountainous area usually away from a maritime environment. The latitude is the first precursor for a desrert environment is…

star under dark sky conditions. Orbit distance is 2,870,658,186 km and Orbit period is 30,687.15 Earth days. Uranus takes 84 Earth days to orbit the Sun, its axis is at 98 degrees, this means that the north and south poles of Uranus lie near the equator of earth. During parts of its orbit one or other of the poles direct face the sun which means the planets get around 42 years of direct sunlight followed by 42 years of darkness. A conclusion may have caused the unusual tilt of Uranus. The theory…

000 feet, altitude of 18,451 feet for autogiro vehicles, and broke her own transcontinental record many times. Her final record breaking attempt however, did not end well. Amelia planned to be the first to be the first to circumnavigate around the equator in 1937. Her first flight had trouble and the aircraft flipped. She had to wait for repairs. She went along with the flight however she never showed up at the airport. Amelia reported that they had low gas and thought they were close to the…

South America, Australia, India, and Antarctica. Gondwana existed roughly 300-180 million years ago. Its climate was fairly mild, but slightly warmer than the world we live in today. It was big enough to stretch from the South Pole all the way to the equator. It is sometimes known as Gondwaland, but usually gets called Gondwana. It formed from the remains when Pangea broke up, hundreds of millions of years ago. Several continents and “Microcontinents” eventually crashed into each other and…

weather. They also demonstrate that during the Summer months, the Earth’s northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, and this tilt provides a smaller area across which the same energy can be spread. Lastly, it allows us to infer that because the Equator is the warmest of the three models, it is always able to receive the greatest amount of energy from the sun during the year, and is therefore subject to an annually hotter…

environment’s radiation level and heating amount. Europe, which is further up will be colder and receive less daylight due to its location and produce less energy, whereas North Africa is hotter and receive more light because it is closer to the equator and produce more…

conditions needed in order to grow coffee. It is at least 1,000 miles long and runs and is bounded by The Tropic of Cancer and The Tropic of Capricorn. The Tropic of Cancer being the latitude most north from the equator and The Tropic of Capricorn being the latitude most southern from the equator. Soil, climate, and altitude are three factors that each continent differs from causing a different flavoring in the…

live near this unique Desert. Dasht-E-Kavir is found lying in the middle of the Iranian plateau. The Desert’s receive about 250mm of rainfall per year. Most Deserts are interestingly found around 20 degrees, or 35 degrees north, and south of the equator. Most Deserts are called Aridisols, which means dry soil. In very abundantly dry regions of the Sahara…
