maps Earth on a flat surface

Explanation:

A map projection simply maps the earth to a flat surface. There are different kinds of map projections.

The earth is a spherical three dimensional solid body.
It is difficult to simply work with three dimensional bodies.
Map projection uses mathematical techniques to flatten the earth.
This can lead to different kinds of distortion of the earth on the map.
Angles and distances are usually the worst hit.

Can high tide occur everywhere in the world at the same time? Explain.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer: No

Explanation:

The Moon's gravitational forces are strong enough to disrupt this balance by accelerating the water towards the Moon. This causes the water to 'bulge.' As the Moon orbits our planet and as the Earth rotates, the bulge also moves. The areas of the Earth where the bulging occurs experience high tide, and the other areas are subject to a low tide.

Tides occur just over 12 hours apart and cannot be high tide all over at the same time.

What does the earth's axis pass through

son4ous [18]

Hello My Friend!

The Axis of rotation is an imaginary line passing through the centre of mass of any celestial body around which the celestial body rotates.

So in Other Words, the Earth makes one complete rotation around this imaginary axis every 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds (Rounded up = 24 Hours).

Ps. The line passes through the north and south poles of a planet.

I Hope my answer has come to your Help. Thank you for posting your question here in $Brainly.$ We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! :)
