1 dzień temu · The aquatic drone dubbed the 'Manta Ray' is part of a wider U.S. Navy project to augment the nation's long-range underwater fleet of unmanned vehicles.
3 dni temu · There are three commonly used types of scales on maps. The first is a written or verbal scale, which represents the ratio of a distance on Earth compared to the same distance on a map. The second is a graphic scale, which is a line or bar that represents the actual distance on the ground.
5 dni temu · Channel Islands, island chain extending some 150 miles (240 km) along, and about 12–70 miles (20–115 km) off, the Pacific coast of southern California. The islands form two groups. The Santa Barbara group, to the north, is separated from the mainland by the Santa Barbara Channel and includes San.
1 dzień temu · The roughly 1,100-mile- (1,800-km-) long coastline of California is mountainous, most dramatically so in the Santa Lucia Range south of San Francisco, where towering cliffs rise about 800 feet (240 metres) above the ocean.
4 dni temu · To measure distance over water, maritime charts and navigational tools are used. These charts typically display nautical miles, providing sailors and navigators with accurate information for plotting their course.
4 dni temu · Estimated coastline length declines as map scale decreases, but at a decreasing rate. Figure 3 includes a trend line fitting an exponential equation, where the R-squared value is 0.88, indicating a good fit. This equation could be used to predict the coastline length estimate for a map between the endpoint scales of 1:1,000 and 1:110,000,000 ...
2 dni temu · The coastline paradox states that a coastline does not have a well-defined length. Measurements of the length of a coastline behave like a fractal, being different at different scale intervals (distance between points on the coastline at which measurements are taken).The smaller the scale interval (meaning the more detailed the measurement), the longer the coastline will be.
