Where do the Sun’s rays hit Earth’s surface nearly at right angles?

Geography
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Between the Equator and the Tropical Capricorn, and the Equator and the Tropical Cancer

Explanation:

The sun rays don't fall on the surface of the Earth at the same angle across all of it. The reason for this is the shape of the Earth, as it is a circular space body, or rather an ellipsoid.

The Equator is the place on Earth that is the most exposed to the sun rays throughout the year, which is why the climate is constant and without changes in this part of the world.  The Equator always gets the sun rays at right angle, or very near the right angle.

The northern limit to where the sun rays fall at right angle is the Tropical Cancer, which gets the sun rays at right angle during the June solstice.

The southern limit to where the sun rays fall at right angle is the Tropical Capricorn, which gets the sun rays at right angle during the December solstice.

nasty-shy [4]

Wind erosion is a natural technique that actions soil from one place to some other by using wind energy. it may purpose enormous monetary and environmental damage.

Erosion through Water Liquid water is the essential agent of erosion in the world. Rain, rivers, floods, lakes, and the ocean convey away bits of soil and sand and slowly wash away the sediment. Rainfall produces four kinds of soil erosion: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion.

Wind erosion is the bodily sporting of the earth's surface via wind. Wind erosion removes and redistributes soil. Small blowout areas may be related to adjoining regions of deposition at the base of plant life or behind barriers, including rocks, shrubs, fence rows, and road banks.

How long does it take the seismic waves to pass directly through the Earth?
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

It ranges from 2 to 13 km/s depends upon composition.

Explanation:

The velocity of seismic waves are different throughout the earth because of different composition of the layers inside the earth. Velocity of seismic waves increases with depth and it is approximately 2 to 8 km/s in the Earth's crust whereas, 13 km/s in the deep mantle so it means the velocity of seismic waves is higher in the mantle as compared to earth's crust due to different composition of layers between the mantle and earth crust.
