Answers
Explanation:
c) +5:30. This means that IST is 5:30 hours more than GMT.
d) Using longitudes and lattitudes, one can easily figureout where a place is by just locating the longitudes and lattitudes of that place. The place would be at the intersection point of the two lines.
h) Lattitudes are horizontal lines whereas longitudes are vertical.
a) Lattitudes are the horizontal lines on the globe. They are imaginary, but are helpful in many ways like: they help in dividing the globe into separate zones (e.g. Torrid zone, Temprate zone etc.), they (alongwith longitudes) help in locating places.
b) The Prime Meridian also called Greenwhich Meantime (GMT) is the longitude which passes through London. It is recognized as the standard meridian.
e) Arctic circle: 66°33′48.1″ N; Tropic of Cancer: 23°26′11.9″ N;
)The main features of the Temprate zone are as follows:
i)Green grasslands
ii)Variety of species of animals
iii)Moderate temprature.

4) Latitudes and longitudes are 'imaginary lines' on the globe. The latitudes run east and west whereas longitudes run north and south. Using the latitudes and longitudes, the angular distance of the place can be determined and the 'location of a place' in degrees can be obtained.
5)Arctic Circle (66°33′48.2″ N) Tropic of Cancer (23°26′11.8″ N) Equator (0° latitude) Tropic of Capricorn (23°26′11.8″ S)
7) The temperate zone mainly lies between the tropics and the Polar Regions. It experiences a wide range of temperatures and precipitation where four distinct seasons are common. ... It generally having has four different seasons such as spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
1)The Earth is divided into three Heat Zones. The Frigid Zone, The Temperate Zone and The Torrid Zone. These are as follows. 1) The Frigid Zone :- It is divided into two sub-zones.
3) a) The Northern Hemisphere lies above the equator, while the Southern Hemisphere lies below the equator. The hemispheres have different amounts of land mass, different amounts of ocean and sea, different populations (or amount of people living there), and different weather patterns.
b)A temperate region experiences all four seasons, having hot temperatures and cold temperatures. A frigid zone is nearly always cold, except for a brief summer respite. Answer: ... A temperate region experiences all four seasons, having hot temperatures and cold temperatures
c)The local time of a particular place refers to the time determined under the basis of the sun's apparent movement. On the other hand, the standard time refers to the fixed time of several places in a given region that fall under the same standard meridian.
