I would assume they are just measured in larger increments as you move away from the 0° latitude.

North & South is located at the poles of the equator, the lines going down. While the East & West is located going across, the parallel lines to the equator.

Hope this helps, sorry if not tho

This is true
It has happened before and was one of the factors that influenced the current position of the continents. It will surely happen again if one day an ice age happens.

Given that a circle has a radius of 4inches and then a radius of 12inches after it has expanded. Given that the formula for a ci

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Rate of change = 3π or 9.43

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial radius, R1 = 4 inches

Final radius, R2 = 12 inches

To find the rate of change;

First of all, we would determine the area of the circle.

Mathematically, the area of a circle is given by the formula;

Area of circle = πr²

For initial radius, R1;

Area of circle, A1 = πR1²

Area of circle, A1 = 4π square inches

For final radius, R2;

Area of circle, A2 = πR2²

Area of circle, A2 = 12π square inches

Now, we can find the rate of change;

Rate of change = A2/A1

Rate of change = 12π/4π

Rate of change = 3π (in terms of pie).

Describe the formation, characteristics, and minerals present of the following rocks:

SOVA2 [1]

Explanation:

Serpentine

Formation: it forms through serpentinization, a geological low-temperature metamorphic process where low-silica mafic and ultramafic rocks are oxidized and hydrolyzed with water into serpentinite.
Characteristics: rich in magnesium and water, light to dark green, greasy-looking and slippery feeling. It can resist the transfer of heat. A source of asbestos, architectural stone, ornamental stone, gem material
Minerals present: it follows the formula (X)2-3(Y)2O5(OH)4 where X can be magnesium, iron, nickel, aluminum, zinc, or manganese; and, Y will be silicon, aluminum, or iron.

Green Schist

Formation: they form by regional metamorphism of mafic igneous rocks through depth of burial, and proximity to batholiths.
Characteristics: The green is due to abundant green chlorite
Minerals present: actinolite and epidote mainly, but they can also include quartz, orthoclase, talc, carbonate minerals, and amphibole.

Basalt Pillow

Formation: it forms when lava of basaltic compositions erupted underwater. The rapid cooling of the lava forms the pillow-shaped bodies.
Characteristics: they are volcanic igneous rocks, very dark, almost black color.
Minerals present: Basalt has a lower percentage of silica and a higher percentage of iron and magnesium than other volcanic rocks.

Umber

Formation: it develops in Cyprus massive sulfide deposits.
Characteristics: is not one precise color, but a range of different colors, from medium to dark, from yellowish to reddish to grayish depending on the iron oxide and manganese in the clay
Minerals present: contains iron oxide and manganese oxide and sulfide precipitates like pyrite.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

this fossil was found in a dry, mountainous area. What can you infer about how the area has changed over time?

WINSTONCH [101]

Fossils are the remains of plants and animals that have been preserved for millennia in stones under the Earth's surface. They contain the long chapters of the history of our Earth. Fossils tell us what the earth looked like many millions of years ago, what kind of animals and plants lived on its surface and how it was changing. Fossils show us a history of over a billion years old.

From the fossil from a dry, mountainous area we can conclude that the area was once underwater and over time the soil has risen as result of continental drift and uplift. So, a mountain was once the bottom of a prehistoric ocean or sea.
