You probably believe that the earth is spherical, but it is obvious that the earth is flat. Look around; where do you see the cu

rvature? One classmate suggests that if you call someone on the "other side" of the world by phone, he or she will answer and, for instance, it will be midnight there at the instant it is noon here. Another student reminds you of the picture taken of the spherical earth from the moon landing. Your teacher explains the ancient observation that when the sun was directly overhead on one day near the equator, a pole some hundreds of miles away to the north still cast a shadow. What is the best scientific basis for still considering that the earth is spherical?

Why is tidal wave a bad name for an enormous wave generated by an earthquake
Andreas93 [3]
Hi. "Tidal wave" suggests a wave associated with the ebbs and flows related to the relative positions of the earth, moon and sun. These rises and falls relative to mean sea level are periodic and easily predictable. But the enormous wave generated by an earthquake is probably even less easy to predict than an earthquake and of no regular (that is, periodic) recurrence that anyone knows of. But I think "tsunami" is not too bad a name for such earthquake-generated waves as tsunami does not suggest any strong link with the relative positions of the earth, moon and sun.
