1. Calculate the local time at a place 45°W longitude when the GMT is 12:00 noon.

Geography
1 answer:
Elodia [21]3 years ago

Answer:

9:00 am

Explanation:

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines running from the north pole to the south pole of earth. These lines are used to calculate the time in places. Also when combined with lines of latitude, they are used to give the exact location of a place.

Given the place is at 45°W longitude and the time at  GMT is 12:00 noon.

Degree difference = 0° (GMT) - 45° = -45°

1° = 4 min

time difference = -45° * 4 min per degree = -180 minutes = -3 hours

Therefore the local time at a place 45°W longitude = 12:00 noon - 3 hours = 9:00 am

Longshore currents move water and sediments to the shore, in the direction of the prevailing local winds. Sideways Parallel Oppo
sladkih [1.3K]
Longshore current move parallel to the shore as longshore drift under the prevailing wind in zig-zag motion.

It is an ocean current that is cause by swell sweeping into the shoreline at an angle and pushing water down the length of beach in a uniform direction.

It is a geological also process that consist of the transportation of sediments such as silt,clay,sand and shingle.

Hope it helps!

a rural kansas watershed that is ungauged has an area of 475 acres and a main channel length of 6870 feet with an average slope
dlinn [17]

Answer:

\mathbf{Q_p  =682 \ \  ft^3/s}

Explanation:

Given that:

Area = 475 acres

The length of the channel (L) = 6870 feet

The average water shield slope (S) = 100 feet/mile

Since; 1 mile = 5280 feet

Burst duration D = 15 min

∴

100 feet/mile = 100/5280

The average water shield slope (S) = 5/264

Using hydrograph method:

The time of concentration t_c = 0.0078L^{0.77} S^{-0.385}

where;

L = 6870

S = 5/264

t_c = 0.0078(6870)^{0.77} (\dfrac{5}{264})^{-0.385}

t_c =32.34 min

Since 60 min = 1 hour

32.34 min will be (32.34*1)/60

= 0.539 hour

Lag time T_l = 0.67\times t_c

T_l = 0.67\times 32.34

T_l = 21.6678\ min

The time to peak i.e

T_p = \dfrac{D}{2}+ T_L \\ \\  T_p = \dfrac{15}{2}+ 21.6678 \\ \\  T_p = 29.168 \ min

T_r = \dfrac{T_p}{5.5} \\ \\  T_r = \dfrac{29.1678}{5.5} \\ \\ T_r = 5.30 \ min

Since D = 15 min is not equal to T_r, then we hydrograph apart from T_r duration lag time.

Then;

T_p \ ' = T_p + \dfrac{D-t_r}{4} \\ \\ T_p \ ' = 29.168 + \dfrac{15-5.30}{4} \\ \\ T_p \ ' = 31.593

Now, we need to determine the peak discharge Q_p by using the formula:

Q_p  = \dfrac{484 \times A}{T_p \ '}

where

484 = peak factor

Recall that A = 475 acres, to miles, we have:

A = 0.7422 mile²

T_p \ ' = 31.593/60

∴

Q_p  = \dfrac{484 \times 0.7422}{\dfrac{31.593}{60}}

\mathbf{Q_p  =682 \ \  ft^3/s}

Why is india called the world's largest democracy
jeka57 [31]

Its all about population India has 1.26 billion people where as second largest US has 315 million.
