<h2>Answer:</h2>

A spacecraft that is not designed to land is called a <u>flyby spacecraft</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A flyby spacecraft is designed to come to close proximity with planets or other bodies with the aim of collecting information. It doesn't get captured by gravity, since it isn't caught in the orbit of the planet. Flyby spacecraft are used for space exploration.  

The spacecraft collects information and any data useful as it goes on the exploration and sent the data down to earth or stores it on board if it can't send it down. It requires meticulous planning and simulation before launching into space since once it passes its target and it cannot traverse the target again.

Beach erosion is generally the result of what physical process?
Paladinen [302]

The correct answer is - B) wave erosion.

The beach erosion is a direct result of the wave action on the coastline. The waves are very powerful when it comes to erosion, and this is because they have big power, and also the chemical components of the water that are very effective too.

The sheer power of the waves contributes to the direct breaking of the rocks into smaller pieces over time, while the water itself, is reacting with the rocks on a chemical level and slowly decomposes them. As the rocks are getting smaller and smaller because of the erosion, the tiny fractions of sand particles are forming the beaches along the coastlines.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

<u>Longitude </u>measure the distance east to west of the prime meridian that runs through greenwich england. Degrees are denoted by the greek word lamba.

Explanation:

  • Longitude gives us an angular measurement from 0 to 180 degrees. Subdivided into 60 minutes and 60 seconds. As longitude is singular at the poles.
  • Earth's tectonic plates move relative to one another in different directions at the speed of 50 to 100mm per year so the movement sin tectonic plates influence the latitudinal rotation which changes from year to year.  
  • These vertical lines define the places on the earth with their approximate sea level surfaces. The longitudinal belt is the equator at the zero degrees largest longitude on earth.
