Measure Distance on a Military Map. A graphic scale is a ruler printed on the map and is used to convert distances on the map to actual ground distances. The graphic scale is divided into two parts. To the right of the zero, the scale is marked in full units of measure and is called the primary scale.
The goals of this chapter are to: Identify types of plate boundaries and compare their characteristic earthquake and volcanic activities. Assess the basic lines of evidence supporting plate tectonics. Explain how ancient plate boundaries affect modern topography.

1 sty 2010 · By measuring the delay in arrival time of the signal from distant celestial objects, the distances between stations that are hundreds of kilometres apart can be derived with millimetre accuracy. A review of the first 20 years of this technique is given by Ryan and Ma ( 1998 ).
24 kwi 2024 · Rates of motions of the major plates range from less than 1 cm/y to more than 10 cm/y. The Pacific Plate is the fastest, moving at more than 10 cm/y in some areas, followed by the Australian and Nazca Plates. The North American Plate is one of the slowest, averaging ~1 cm/y in the south up to almost 4 cm/y in the north.
