It means that the satellite's orbital period is equal to the Earth's rotation period ... roughly 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds ... so that the satellite always stays over the same longitude.

IF that satellite's orbit has also been carefully placed over the equator, THEN the satellite is in a 'geostationary' orbit. It appears motionless in the sky, and can be used to sell 900 channels of TV to people with little dishes that they never need to move.

  • And virtually all the igneous rocks are derived for the magmas that are caused by the partial melting of the original rocks, either in the upper mantle o the crust.  
  • <u>The main mechanism, that meets the cracks in the zone is called the decomposition melting or the flux melting as the ricks are being moved to the surface. Thus magma continues to cool and the crystals start to form.</u>
