The type of volcanism altered radically around 350, 000 years ago with the formation of the central volcano ( and later caldera ) associated with a different magma chamber, resulting in greater explosivity and giving rise to thick sheets of pumice that layered Serra Branca.

Along with the main Regional E. R. 1-1ª roadway, which follows the coast from the marina to Feteiras, the Regional E. R. 2-2ª variant ( Estrada Príncipe Alberto do Mónaco-Estrada Regional de Santa Bárbara ) extends from the intersection at the Church of Nossa Senhora das Angústias northwest to Flamengos, while the expressway ( the Via-Rápida ) to Feteiras begins at a traffic circle around the locality of Santa Bárbara.

" Der Runde Turm ") finished in 1453, the archiepiscopal ( Electorate of Cologne ) castle ruins with a well-preserved keep, and the remains of the town wall with several well-restored wall towers and two gates: the " Rhine Gate " ( das " Rheintor ") built around 1200 as the " Grain Gate " ( die " Kornpforte "; last renovation and reconstruction in 1899 after 17th century plans ) and the " Coblencian Gate " (" Koblenzer Tor "), originally called the " Castle Gate " (" Burgpforte "); in medieval and Renaissance times up to the 19th century the German word " Pforte " ( from Latin " porta ") was used for town and church gates instead of " Tor ".

Thus all differences were leveled, and all contrasts erased, in a realm of no distinction, and the harmonious balance of the Lo Shu square could effectively symbolize the world in balanced harmony around a powerful central axis.

The AU was originally defined as the length of the semi-major axis of the Earth's elliptical orbit around the Sun.

For a rigid body rotating around an axis of symmetry ( e. g. the blades of a ceiling fan ), the angular momentum can be expressed as the product of the body's moment of inertia, I, ( i. e. a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation rate ) and its angular velocity ω:

For the case of an object that is small compared with the radial distance to its axis of rotation, such as a tin can swinging from a long string or a planet orbiting in a circle around the Sun, the angular momentum can be expressed as its linear momentum,, crossed by its position from the origin, r. Thus, the angular momentum L of a particle with respect to some point of origin is

For many applications where one is only concerned about rotation around one axis, it is sufficient to discard the pseudovector nature of angular momentum, and treat it like a scalar where it is positive when it corresponds to a counter-clockwise rotation, and negative clockwise.

Spin is often depicted as a particle literally spinning around an axis, but this is a misleading and inaccurate picture: Spin is an intrinsic property of a particle, fundamentally different from orbital angular momentum.

The connections of the bogie with the rail vehicle allow a certain degree of rotational movement around a vertical axis pivot ( bolster ), with side bearers preventing excessive movement.

The interface of two Miscibility | immiscible liquids rotating around a vertical axis is an upward-opening circular paraboloid.

Inside the bulb, on a low friction spindle, is a rotor with several ( usually four ) vertical lightweight metal vanes spaced equally around the axis.

The interface of two Miscibility | immiscible liquids rotating around a vertical axis is an upward-opening circular paraboloid.

In spherical coordinates, with the angle with the z axis and the rotation around the z axis, the divergence reads

The field lines, which are horizontal rings around the axis of the vertically oriented dipole, are perpendicularly crossing the x-y-plane of the image.

Thus the aim developed, to provide a new time scale for astronomical and scientific purposes, to avoid the unpredictable irregularities of the mean solar time scale, and to replace for these purposes Universal Time ( UT ) and any other time scale based on the rotation of the Earth around its axis, such as sidereal time.

An equinox occurs twice a year ( around 20 March and 22 September ), when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the center of the Sun being in the same plane as the Earth's equator.

Additionally, in pairs and in ice dancing, there are pair and dance spins, during which both skaters rotate around the same axis while holding onto each other.

Most of these gardens were built around a central axis and they were divided into different parts by hedges.

The drum, named after L. W. Broadwell, an agent for Gatling's company, comprised twenty stick magazines arranged around a central axis, like the spokes of a wheel, each holding twenty cartridges with the bullet noses oriented toward the central axis.

Seleucus of Seleucia, a follower of the heliocentric theory of Aristarchus, stated that the Earth rotated around its own axis, which in turn revolved around the Sun.

** angular nodes go around the axis ( in the xy plane ).

If a sample of cobalt-60 atoms is magnetized so that they spin counterclockwise around some axis, the beta radiation resulting from their nuclear decay will be preferentially directed opposite that axis.

He supported Aristarchus of Samos ' heliocentric theory where the Earth rotated around its own axis which in turn revolved around the Sun.
