102 Geography Questions And Answers

41⟩ What is Geography?

Though many think that geography is limited to the names of countries and their cities, geography is the study of the earth's surface includes people's responses to topography and climate and soil and vegetation. It is the study of the aerial differentiation of the earth surface in relation to environment

42⟩ What is a Green resort?

A 'Green' resort, like a 'Green' business is an entity that is environment friendly. They might have low-volume-flush toilets, automatic light switches that turn off when no one is in the room, etc., anything that will reduce emissions and reduce pollution and waste.

46⟩ What is the difference between a sea and an ocean?

A sea is part of an ocean that is partially surrounded by land. If it is surrounded, then it has called an inland sea. An ocean is a body of salt water with no boundaries and limitless volume. It is limitless because with no boundaries, definitive quantity cannot be deduced.

49⟩ What make ice melt at the end of an ice age?

Well, once the sun is no longer blocked, the sun will appear and melt the ice. In addition, ice melt a little and evaporated, it will not be hot enough for it to rain, and slowly the ice will disperse into the air.

In addition, if an underwater volcano were to erupt, it would melt the ice causing global warming

50⟩ What is the optimum angle of declination?

Zero degrees! If the angle of declination is 0°, then magnetic north is the same as true north, making it much easier to navigate.

However, really, there is not any "optimum" angle. One angle is just as good as another is as long as you know how to correct for it in the right way.

51⟩ Are there underground cities in the US?

An underground city is a network of tunnels that connect buildings, usually in the downtown area of a city. These may include office blocks, shopping malls, train and metro stations, theatres, and other attractions.

52⟩ What is the use of geographical coordinates?

Geographical coordinates allow locations or devices with the geographical locations to be tracked and located. In essence, if a phone has geographical positioning built inside the phone can be tracked by satellite and located. An example of this is people call 911 and they are not sure where they are. Operators are still able to locate where they are and send help.

54⟩ What does physical geography mean?

This article concerns the development of conceptual understanding of a physical phenomenon with computational representations. It examines how students make sense of and interpret computational representations, and how their understanding of the represented physical phenomenon develops in this process. Eight studies were conducted, in which pairs of students were engaged in an exploratory activity of natural harmonic oscillation. They first explored physical oscillators (e.g., springs, pendulums) and then interacted with dynamic and interactive computational representations that represent aspects of natural harmonic oscillation. The analysis focuses on selected episodes demonstrating critical steps in the development of the students' understanding. It offers a detailed description of these steps and closely examines students' interaction with various features of the representations in order to identify the relations between use of representations and students' developing understanding.

A theory of conceptual change, coordination class theory (diSessa & Sherin, 1998), is used to track the development process of students' understanding with representations. The detailed analysis aims to construct a model describing mechanisms of developing understanding through the mediation of computational representations. The significance of this study is in its close look at the detailed process of learning and conceptual change in computational environments.

56⟩ What is the prime meridian?

The prime meridian is the zero (0) line of longitude. The zero line of latitude is a given in the form of the equator, but for longitude the line was agreed on at an international conference at Washington DC in 1884. (The conference chose a line that had widely accepted internationally). The matter was of particular interest to the U.S. where the present time zones had no official standing and about 2,000 (yes, two thousand) local times were in use.

The zero longitude line runs through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich in southeast London. It is marked on the ground in brass for about 200 yards.

57⟩ How are Fold Mountains formed?

Fold Mountains are formed from the collision of continental tectonic plates. Since neither plate sub ducts under the other, the colliding plates wrinkle and fold like a rug being pushed into a wall. What is the difference between a compass heading and a compass bearing?

Heading indicates the direction the ship/aircraft/vehicle you are in is moving.

Bearing is normally used to indicate the direction something else is relative to you.

The ship was heading 085 and maintaining a station on the carrier at two miles and a bearing of 200 from the carrier.

This is often the case where a ship or airplane is "pointed" on a bearing across the wind or current and "moving" on a heading that is the natural consequence of the combined forces on the hull.
