1.What is meant by Parallels of Latitude? 2.What is meant by Meridians of Longitude? 3.What is a Torrid zone?
4.What are the main features of Temperate zone?
Answers
Answer:
answer 1: 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".
answer 2:Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are known as meridians. Each meridian measures one arc degree of longitude. The distance around the Earth measures 360 degrees
answer 3:the hot central belt of the earth bounded by the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
answer 4:Some Characteristics based on various parameters are as follows
- Area: Lies between the cold zone and the subtropical zone (40° to 60°)
- Sun path: Maximum is 73°, the minimum is 0° at the Arctic Circle.
- Average temperature: Between zero and 20°C.
- Minimal temperature: -40°C.
- Maximal temperature: +40°C.
1) ➭ The parallels of latitude refer to the angular distance, in degrees, minutes and seconds of a point north or south of the Equator.
2) ➭ meridian of longitude is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface extending from north to south.
3) ➭ Torrid zone is a the part of the earth's surface lying between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
4) ➭
