The three main type of stress are : Compression, Tension, and Shear stress.  Compression squeezes and shortens rock while Tension stretches and pulls rock, making it thinner.  <span>Shear stress distorts a body by pushing parts of the body in opposite directions. Sheared rock bends, twists, or breaks apart and slides past neighboring rock. So, Compression stress is the stress that forms mountains resulting from large blocks of rock squeezing together.  </span>

When the landmasses of the british isles and scandinavia are fitted together, mountain chains and rock types?
dedylja [7]
<span>The observation of rocks in several mountainous belts that today are separated by oceans provides evidence of continental drift.  Continental drift is the displacement of continental masses relative to each other. The Appalachian mountain belt in eastern North America ends off the coast of Newfoundland. Mountains of the same age with rocks and similar structures are found in the British Isles and Scandinavia, when these land masses come together, the mountain ranges form an almost continuous belt.</span>

Answer:

at 4 p.m Baghdad located at 45°E

at 8p.m Indonesia is located at x°

we have

common difference in time =8p.m-4p.m=4hours =4×60min

again

we have

4min=1°

4×60min=4×60/4=60°

since time is in p.m on both so they lie in same direction

Therefore, longitude of Indonesia=60°E.

hope this helps you. thanks

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Below is a good projection/coordinate system from the predefined coordinate systems in ArcGIS for maps of the following areas:

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

Explanation:

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

With respect to projection,  New Jersey follow the nad 83.

 Thus, New Jersey - nad 83 utm zone 18n

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
