Debora [2.8K]3 years ago
3 0

Answe:

Os paralelos possuem medidas específicas, chamadas de latitudes, que constituem a distância, em graus, de um dado paralelo em relação à Linha do Equador. Essa, por sua vez, possui latitude 0º.

Os meridianos são as linhas imaginárias dispostas verticalmente sobre o globo terrestre, formando semicírculos, ou seja, curvas que representam a metade de um círculo. Como todos os meridianos possuem o mesmo tamanho, não há diferenças técnicas entre um e outro, o que fez com que o meridiano principal fosse escolhido por meio de uma convenção realizada em Washington D.C. no final do século XIX. Nessa convenção, escolheu-se que a linha imaginária que atravessa a cidade de Londres, capital da Inglaterra e centro econômico da época, seria o meridiano principal, chamado de Meridiano de Greenwich, que é também o marco zero na medição dos fusos horários.

can a body having larger mass be hotter than another of smaller mass.if they are at same temperature .explain​
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

No, of course.

Explanation:

By definition, this is not possible. You can maybe feel the larger mass body hotter, but it only produces the heat better than the smaller mass body.

You may think the large body produces more heat because the surface of the body is bigger. But, as the question says, both bodies have the same temperature, so it's impossible that one is hotter than the other.

Which rock cannot be found as a chemical sedimentary rock?
Lana71 [14]
The correct option is C.
Sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock that is formed by physical weathering of parent rocks. It is usually made up of sand size particles of minerals, rocks, other organic materials and the cementing material that bind the sand grains together. 
Sandstone can not be found as a chemical sedimentary rock because it is formed by mean of physical weathering and not by chemical reactions of the rock.
