This is because twenty-four latitude lines were chosen so that 24 hours represents a 360 revolution around the planet. As earth spins on its axis, different places receive sunlight at different times. Each day goes from morning to night as earth turns because the earth spins from west to east therefore the day moves from east to west. Lines of longitude help us keep track of time differences from place to place. Mapmakers divided earths 360 degrees of longitude by 24 hours which results to 15, the time changes by one hour every 15 degrees. It is one hour earlier every 15 degrees of longitude to the west and it is one hour later every 15 degrees of longitude to the east.

What is the difference between adhesion, cohesion and surface tension? Which would be used in a xylem? Which would enable an ins
azamat

Cohesion, adhesion and surface tension are different from each other. Adhesion is used in xylem. Surface tension enables an insect to sit on water.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The force of attraction between the molecules of the same type is called cohesion. The force of attraction between the molecules of different type is called adhesion. Tendency of fluid surfaces to shrink to minimum possible area due to the attraction between the liquid molecules is called surface tension.

Adhesion is used in xylem. In xylem water molecules move from the roots to different parts of the plant through the xylem tubes. The adhesive force between the water molecules and xylem walls make the movement of water possible.

Surface tension enables an insect to sit on the surface of a liquid. Due to surface tension the water surface stretches like a membrane due to the higher attractive force between the water molecules.
