Why are the N, S, E, and W designations often omitted from coordinates on U.S. topographic maps?

1 answer:

7 0

In a Topographic map, here are the programming values of each of that navgations:

N = positive value to the latitude
S= Negative value to the Latitude
W = Positive value to the longitude
E = Negative value to the longitude

Most programmers that work to create the topographic map choose to simply ommit the N,S,W,&E because it will save them a lot of time from having to type in a minus sign before most of their longitude values in code writing.

Jupiter has 67 moons, more than any other body in the solar system. What physical attribute of Jupiter causes it to have so many

Harrizon [31]

The correct answer is - it's mass.

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our Solar System, but only the biggest, also it has the biggest mass by far from all the planets. Because of its very big mass Jupiter has a very strong gravitational pull. The strong gravitational pull contributes to the attraction and keeping of lots of bodies that can not escape it, instead they revolve around the planet. These objects, or space bodies, that the gravitational pull of the planet managed to trap, became the moons, or rather natural satellites, of Jupiter.

Describes the atmospheric conditions at a specific place at a specific point in time. Weather generally refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity

Components Climate may include precipitation, temperature, humidity, sunshine, wind velocity, phenomena such as fog, frost, and hail storms over a long period of time. Weather includes sunshine, rain, cloud cover, winds, hail, snow, sleet, freezing rain, flooding, blizzards, ice storms, thunderstorms, steady rains from a cold front or warm front, excessive heat, heat waves and more

About Climate is defined as statistical weather information that describes the variation of weather at a given place for a specified interval. Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and its short-term (minutes to weeks) variation

Time period Measured over a long period Measured for short term

In which of the following climate zones do giant pandas live?

masya89 [10]

The correct answer is - d. deciduous forest.

The giant panda lives in the deciduous forested parts of China were the climate is temperate, wet, moisty, and most importantly covered in bamboo trees. The bamboo tree is the only food source of the giant pandas, and it is essential for their survival. Unlike the other bears the giant panda is not an omnivore, and in its evolution due to a genetic mutation it lost its taste for meat and became exclusively a bamboo eater. It is on the verge of extinction nowadays and strict measures are needed for this lovely animal to be protected and preserved.
