Question

10. The latitudinal extent of India is
about 3200 kilometre which is
1/12 of the total circumference of
the earth. (T/F)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India is about 30o. The North-South extent is 3214 km and the East-West extent is 2933 km. The distance between any two lines of longitude is maximum at the equator and goes on decreasing as one goes from the equator to the poles. The distance between lines of latitude remains the same at all latitudes. India is away from the equator. So, the lines of longitude come nearer and the East-West distance becomes less than the North-South distance.
