Explain how lines of latitude and longitude help people find locations on earth?

1 answer:

8 0

The line of latitude specifies where in the direction of North-South a given location is: it gives a line outside of which this place cannot lie.

Then, similarly, longitude specifies where on this line a place is: so the combination of the two gives an unambiguous "address" to a place: while there are numerous others on the same latitude OR longitude, no other places is at the intersection of the two - this makes the location unique and unambiguously possible to locate!

How does a bill become a law? Put in the correct order.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

This is the correct order.

1. Starts as an idea.

2. Debated in a small committee (where it could die)

3. Needs a majority in each house of Congress (51 in Senate, 218 in the House)

4. Signed by the President.

Explanation:

Making a "bill" into a law is not an easy process.

1. It always has to start from an "idea." The idea can be contributed by anyone in the society. All you have to do is to talk about it to your elected officials. If the idea is accepted by the officials, they will then write a bill and introduce it.

2. The bill will then go to a small committee. They will brainstorm on it and decide whether they will accept or reject the bill.

3. If the bill is accepted, it will be passed towards the "House" or "Senate" floor for debate.

4. The bill will then proceed to the President. The President can sign and approve the bill. Here, the President has the option to reject the bill and give it back to the Congress. The President also has the option to "choose no action." However, the bill automatically becomes a law after 10 days.

As waves crash along the coast, they wash large rocks from the bottom of a cliff. This type of erosion is called?

andreev551 [17]

This kind of erosion is called 'coastal erosion', usually caused by waves or high winds. Abrasives in the water or impact against the rock can cause it to chip off or degrade over time. One of the causes of coastal erosion, which might best fit your question, is hydraulic action. This describes the impact of the wave hitting the surface of the rock or cliff. The wave compresses air inside cracks on the rock, and the pressure causes the rock to splinter off.
