Document Summary
Mantle has a density of about 3. 3 (3. 3 times heavier than water) Distance c. ) area/relative to each other d. ) shape. Shape and area cannot be accurate on a map together. Types of projections a. ) planar/plane (accurate where in contact for all b. ) conic c. ) cylindrical. Fractional 1/62,500; 1/63360 one mile) angular distance n-s: 0-90 degrees measures angular distance e-w; 0-180 degrees. latitude imaginary line running e-w, measures b. ) Line on map that connects points of equal successive contour lines. Ratio b. ) percent c. ) degrees earth on axis, parallelism of axis. A compass always points to a magnetic point (magnetic north, south, etc. ) Uniformitarianism present is key to the past. Subject can vary in; scale, time, spatial context. Threshold point at which something causes change to system i. e. earthquake going in = water going out. Most of earths topography no older than pleistocene. Endogenic processes originate within the earth i. e. earth movements: folding faulting.
