Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four majorsubsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called “spheres.” Specifically, they are the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), biosphere (living things), and atmosphere (air). Each of these four spheres can be further divided into sub-spheres.

Given directed line segment CD, if point E divides CD three-fourths of the way

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

E(-2, -1.5)

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, the coordinates of point C and D are at C(1, 6) and D(-3,-4)

If a line segment AB with coordinates at $(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)$ is divided by a point O(x, y) in the ratio n:m, the coordinates of point O is given by the formula:

$x=\frac{n}{n+m}(x_2-x_1)+x_1 \\\\y=\frac{n}{n+m}(y_2-y_1)+y_1$

C(1, 6) and D(-3,-4) are divided three fourths (in ratio 3:1) by point E. Let us assume E is at (x,y), hence the coordinate of point L is given as:

$x=\frac{n}{n+m}(x_2-x_1)+x_1=\frac{3}{4}(-3-1)+1=\frac{3}{4}(-4)+1=-2 \\\\y=\frac{n}{n+m}(y_2-y_1)+y_1=\frac{3}{4}(-4-6)+6=\frac{3}{4} (-10)+6=-1.5$

Point E is at (-2, -1.5)

Suggest a reason that the time zone do not exactly follow meridians

JulsSmile [24]

The idea of time zones is to have a particular time of day have the same meaning worldwide. For example, noon will be the point in time when the sun is the highest, if you compare from exactly on one line of a longitude line that is used to determine the time zone (actual time zone lines change based on settlements and politics, so use the longitude line it is based on).

<span>The sun rises and sets based on the earth's rotation on its axis. Time zones divide the earth into 24 areas that will be rotated into. Latitude lines have nothing to do with the time of day or the earth's rotation--they tell you where something is north and south rather than east and west.</span>

What is an example of reterriorialization

bearhunter [10]

The answer is ( when the Spanish (Hernán Cortés) conquered the Aztecs, and after the Spanish deterritorialized by eliminating the symbols of the Aztecs' beliefs and rituals, the Spanish then reterritorialized by putting up their own beliefs and rituals.)

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

upper portion (6000ft - 6500 ft)

Explanation:

From the information given:

This activity involves exploring the Zion National Park geology. To achieve this, we need to download the Zion file & open it in Gougle Earth. This is followed by setting the vertical exaggeration to 0.5 & the measurement to feet/miles. The perspective view is also changed to a map view. Now, as viewed in Gougle Earth, the upper portion which is white in nature appears to be steeper than the lower portions. To the Toquerville, the area towards it is remarkably flat with slight undulations.
