Answers
Answer:
A. Globe:a round object with a map of the world on it.
B. Axis:a line we imagine through the middle of an object, around which the object turns.
C. Equator: a line notionally drawn on the earth equidistant from the poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0°.
D. Parallels of Latitudes:Latitude lines around earth. Licensed from ThinkStockPhoto. noun. The parallel of latitude is an imaginary line around the Earth that is parallel to the equator. An example of a parallel of latitude is the Arctic Circle that runs east - west around the Earth at a latitude of 66° 33' 44".
