1) Five characteristics of the lines of latitudes:
(i) Latitude is the angular distance of a place north or south of the Equator.
(ii) There are 180 parallels of latitudes apart from the Equator.
(iii) Each parallel of latitude is a circle.
(iv) Only the Equator is a Great Circle, all the rest of the latitudes are Small Circles.
(v) The distance between two latitudes is always equal.
2) Five Characteristics of lines of longitudes:
(i) Each meridian is half of a great circle.
(ii) They run in a true north-south direction from connecting the North and South Poles.
(iii) They are spaced farthest apart at the equator but converges at the poles.
(iv) Meridians help us to determine standard time.
(v) They cross the equator at right angles.
3) Two features are:
(i) Australia and portions of Africa fall within the torrid zone.
(ii) The sun is directly overhead at least once during the year in the torrid zone.
1.Latitude is the angular distance of a place north or south of the Equator.
There are 180 parallels of latitudes apart from the Equator.
Each parallel of latitude is a circle.
Only the Equator is a Great Circle, all the rest of the latitudes are Small Circles.
The distance between two latitudes is always equal.
2.Each meridian is half of a great circle.
They run in a true north-south direction from connecting the North and South Poles.
They are spaced farthest apart at the equator but. converges at the poles.
Meridians help us to determine standard time.
3.The tropical zone contains areas that are the hottest places on earth. Local people within the torrid zone receive plenty of rainfall to promote lush vegetation growth. The temperature stays relatively uniform from day tonight. Cloud cover helps keep the temperature uniform throughout the seasons.
