Geography
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

As pressure and temperature increase with depth, the rocks melt, and denser material within the descending oceanic plate continues to sink downward while less-concentrated silica-rich material forms granulites that adhere to the bottom of the continental plate and add to its mass.

California - nad 83 utm zone 10n

New Jersey - nad 83 utm zone 18n

Nevada – nad 83 utm zone 11n

New Hampshire - Nad 83 utm zone 19n

England – epsg 2770

Antartica – epsg 3031

With respect to projection, California has a longitude and latitude that is in line with that of Humboldt country.

   Thus, California - nad 83 utm zone 10n

Different projections are used for the Nevada, rather than that of the state planes.

   Nevada – nad 83 utm zone 11n

With respect to projection, New Hampshire has a longitude and latitude that is in line with that of Grafton country

   Thus, New Hampshire - Nad 83 utm zone 19n

England completely depends up on the pointed shaped.

  Thus, England – epsg 2770

Antartica exists in latitude wise high zone.

   Antartica – epsg 3031

How do I figure this out
bazaltina [42]
An Isosceles triangle has two even parts, you add them up. For example 60 degree plus another 60 degree angle is 120 degrees. And the limit is 180 degrees, so in order to get that last angle, you'd have to subtract 160 from 180. And that'd be 20 degrees. I couldn't see the question but I hope this helps you in a way
