How do u calculate the surface area of a cylinder? For a cylinder there is 2 kinds of formulas the lateral and the total. the lateral surface area is just the sides the formula for that is 2(pi)radius(height). the formula for the total surface area is 2(pi)radius(height) + 2(pi)radius squared. What are the units for […]

What are glacial striations and what evidence do they provide? More evidence comes from glacial striations – scratches on the bedrock made by blocks of rock embedded in the ice as the glacier moves.
