The igneous rock gabbro most likely formed

Geography
1 answer:
weeeeeb [17]3 years ago
7 0

Slowly, deep underground

The igneous rock gabbro is coarse grained and non-vesicular. Both characteristics show that it is an intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed below Earth's surface and slowly (because they're underground). When rocks are intrusive, they are are non-vesicular (no air pockets) because the air has had the time to escape because of the slow cooling time period. Intrusive rocks are also coarse because crystals had the time to form in the rock during that longer cooling time.

Ps. extrusive igneous rocks form rapidly at Earth's surface and basically have tge opposite characteristics for the opposite reasons (ex: vesicular cause air had little time to escape)

The distance from Alexandria to Syene is about 500 miles. On the summer solstice the sun is directly overhead at noon in Syene.
svp [43]

Answer:

Earth circumference is 25000 miles

correct option is 25,000 miles

Explanation:

we have given here Alexandria to Syene distance = 500 miles

the sun is 1/50th of the circumference of the sky (about 7°)

as we know that Earth circumference done by astronomer Eratosthenes in 240 B.C

He observe on a particular time of day ( in noon) during the summer solstice

and there was no shadow in Syene in Egypt so  This was verified that the sun must be directly on overhead and not at an angle to the surface of the city at that time

so

In Alexandria he measured the position of sun at the same time and found it to be nearly (1/50)th of a complete circle

it would be 7.2 degree (when we do \frac{360}{50} = 7.2)

so 2 reference points being 2 cities for the sun

all measure circumference =  the distance between these two cities × 50  

and we have given 500 miles

so

Earth circumference = 500 × 50

Earth circumference is 25000 miles

correct option is 25,000 miles

On the grid in your answer booklet, the Earth–Moon distance data from December 2 to December 12 have
Eduardwww [97]
At this point, i think you can allow the line to miss a plot a little bit when passes between circles
pretty much it would look like this , 
just crosscheck it with the data if you're not sure

Hope this helps
