Good question. What they mean to say is that locations that are "more East" are earlier, while locations that are "more West" are later.

The starting city was at a longitude of 75* West. Notice that 73* West is more to the East than the starting city (in other words, it is "less West"), while 78* West is more to the west than the starting city.

This is why we subtract 8 minutes going to 73* West from 75* West.

Atmosphere the Earth has had. The atmosphere that we are now breathing is the 3rd 2nd only 5th
Basile [38]

Answer:

It's the 4th, as third is modified by the man.

Explanation:

  • The Third atmosphere was a rearrangement of the plate tectonics and the evolution of atmosphere by the transferring of it to the oceanic basins. As the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere used to be more than 30% around 280 million years ago than the present.
  • Rapid development of land plants and animals was caused due to this atmosphere and hence this atmosphere is now less than 21% and due to his influence or modification of man with his technological tools and techniques.
  • The atmosphere is rapidly shrinking due to the greenhouse effect and global warming that is leading to the fifth atmosphere that may be like that of mars as devoid of gases and barren and dry with oceans running under the crust.

patriot [66]

Answer:

Unless the land it totally flat, rivers of water run downhill. ... If the source of a river is at a higher elevation than the mouth, that river will run from the source to the mouth. However, if that (higher) source is to the south of the mouth, that river will then flow to the north (downhill).
