Perchè la terra è sferica?

Answer:

Causa La Terra è abbastanza massiccia che l'attrazione della gravità mantiene la sua forma approssimativamente sferica. La maggior parte della sua deviazione dagli steli sferici deriva dalla forza centrifuga causata dalla rotazione attorno al suo asse nord-sud. Questa forza deforma la sfera in un ellissoide oblato.

Answer:

Si vemos un barco acercándose desde la orilla del mar, nos damos cuenta de que los mástiles, las chimeneas y las partes más altas de la cubierta aparecen primero, y luego, por último, el casco. Lo contrario ocurre si el barco se aleja. Todo esto no sucedería si la Tierra fuera plana.

Per un osservatore che si arrampica lungo i fianchi di una montagna l'orizzonte, pur rimanendo circolare, s'ingrandisce via via che aumenta la quota. Tra le infinite figure geometriche solo la sfera ha la proprietà di apparire circolare, da qualsiasi punto la si osservi.

Nello stesso istante il cielo diurno o notturno appare diverso ad osservatori posti in luoghi diversi della Terra. In particolare, se ci muoviamo verso Sud, le stelle meridionali ci appaiono via via più alte e sempre più basse quelle settentrionali. Viceversa se ci muoviamo verso Nord.

Se due osservatori, in luoghi a diversa longitudine, osservano contemporaneamente il cielo, quello che si trova ad Est vede le stesse stelle in posizione più occidentale dell'altro e viceversa per l'osservatore che si trova più ad Ovest.

Durante le eclissi di Luna l'ombra della Terra, proiettata sul nostro satellite, è circolare. Solo un corpo sferico, comunque illuminato, può proiettare un'ombra sempre circolare.

Anche usando un piccolo telescopio gli altri corpi del sistema solare ci appaiono di forma sferica ed isolati nello spazio. Per analogia questo dovrebbe valere anche per la Terra.

EXPLAIN why most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of different tectonic plates
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Explained as below

Explanation:

  • The three types of pf plate boundaries are spreading zones, transform faults and subduction zones. Most earthquakes occur along the boundaries of plate tectonics due to the effects of the earth's mantle layer that acts as a recycling agent and recycles 99% of the earth's surface layers from above.
  • Various tectonic forces and process act son these slabs and rocks from above and hence through the activities of erosion and denudation of the rocky masses these plates collide with each other as the earth is it's self not static its dynamic and moves continuously on a regular basis and hence changes take place on the surface of earth.
  • Thus it can be seen that the earthquakes and volcanic events occur at the plate boundaries and hence produce or are responsible for the various activities.

Can I just have a good amount of info on nuclear energy
DerKrebs [107]
Nuclear energy is created during a fission or fusion, and is typically used to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants use the fission or fusion reaction to create the nuclear energy, which generates heat. This heat the power plants use to transform the heat energy into electricity. Fission is where large nuclei are split into smaller nuclei. Fusion is where the small nuclei are put together to create large nuclei. These two reactions create nuclear energy.

2. What is the process that scientists think forms Earth's physical features, and what does it mean?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Plate tectonics is the name for the process that forms Earth's features. Plates spread apart, bump together, slide under one another, or slide past each other. Forces on the surface also change the land. The movement of wind and water breaks rock down, and erosion wears Earth's surface away.
